SAVE is the leading LGBTQ advocacy organization based in South Florida, promoting equal rights for all Americans.

Established in 1993, SAVE defeated a proposed statute that would have banned anti-discrimination ordinances throughout the State of Florida.  In 1998, SAVE successfully lobbied for the Miami-Dade County Commission to pass an ordinance banning discrimination based on sexual orientation. The ordinance was challenged at the ballot box in 2002.  SAVE won the vote 53% to 47%.

In December 2014, SAVE led the charge to revisit the Human Rights Ordinance established in 1998 to add gender identity and expression, ensuring that the transgender community in Miami-Dade is also protected from discrimination.

Also in 2014, SAVE helped make marriage equality a reality in Florida as a plaintiff in the Federal marriage equality case led by the ACLU of Florida, the case that allowed for same-sex marriages to begin on January 6, 2015.

As we continue the movement for equal rights for all people, SAVE remains a leader in the fight for equal rights for LGBTQ Americans.  

We depend upon and appreciate your support!  Thank you for your ongoing generosity your tireless commitment to LGBTQ equality!
