If you’ve ever been shocked by a radically progressive California law, chances are you have one group to blame.
Founded 20 years ago as an LGBT advocacy group, Equality California has since grown to become a major player in California politics. Fueled by millions of dollars in donations from corporations like AT&T and Comcast to advocacy groups like Planned Parenthood, the progressive group has emerged as the savviest user of Sacramento’s legislative system. Together with its Democratic allies, Equality California helps set the legislative agenda and has pushed all manner of "woke" policies that help minors get sex changes in secret and let men into women’s prisons.
The group now wants to make its mark on the rest of the country. From its Washington, D.C., office, the group lobbies for federal legislation to legalize abortion, grant amnesty to illegal immigrants, and ban guns. Donors who give $50,000 or more to the group are given access to Equality California’s highest donor tier, "National Trailblazer." In a speech praising the group, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) called Equality California "the way of the future" and warned that "the days are numbered for the people who would stand in the way of liberty and justice for all across every community in our country."
As Equality California’s revenue increased, so did its political spending. The group’s largest campaign contribution in 2010 was a $5,000 donation to then-San Francisco district attorney Kamala Harris. Now, the group doles out millions of dollars annually to top allies like state senator Scott Wiener (D.), who for his 2016 and 2020 senate races received more than $2.2 million in contributions, polling, mailers, and ads from Equality California.

So its really a money laundering operation by individuals who want to strip away freedoms and rule over the masses.
Name the politicians as the Progressive Politicians Perverts.
Equality California is demonic. If you speak against a bill they want, they label you a hater. This is how they got a bill passed in California that lowers age of consent to 14, if partner is up to 10 years older.
Washington DC or Washington state?
Back in the day they wanted to call the state “Columbia” (because of the river), but decided not to as it would be too confusing with the District of Columbia. So they called it Washington instead. True story!
