Fighting for the freedom to be open about everyone you love.
No one should face discrimination on the basis of their intimate relationships or family structure. That's why we’re working with grassroots leaders to push for non-discrimination ordinances that protect people of all relationship styles, including non-monogamy.
Today, only 18% of families fit the “traditional” model of two married parents with kids. Meanwhile, millions of families and chosen families who don’t fit this mold face discrimination in housing, employment, services, and more. By passing non-discrimination ordinances, we can ensure that everyone is treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their relationship structure.
As of Summer 2023, OPEN is working with a grassroots coalition to introduce non-discrimination ordinances in Berkeley, Oakland, and other cities in the California Bay Area. We’re also tracking and supporting bills in a few additional US cities.
