MAYOR’S TASK FORCE ON LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENDER, QUEER+ (LGBTQ+)

As one of the most diverse cities in the country, the City of Jersey City aims to provide equal opportunity to all of its diverse employees, residents, and businesses.

In support of this aim, on April 26, 2013, the City of Jersey City’s Mayor’s Taskforce on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer+ Equality, together with other City officials, held a meeting with the Legislative Counsel for State and Municipal Advocacy of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC). The HRC is the largest civil rights organization working to achieve equality for LGBTQ+ individuals. This meeting demonstrated the City’s continued partnership in advancing Jersey City’s LGBTQ+-related programs.

Our mission is to promote & practice equality, respect & inclusiveness for LGBTQ+ employees, residents, businesses & organizations.

Our vision is for a workplace & community of equality, respect, & inclusiveness.
