Activities or mission (Part I)

The Caribbean Equality Project is a NYC based community organization that empowers, advocates for and represents Afro and Indo Caribbean LGBTQ+ immigrants in New York City

  • The Caribbean Equality Project (CEP) launched its monthly Food Justice Program in response to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Caribbean communities across New York City. In partnership with local officials and community organizations, CEP provides culturally responsive groceries, fresh produce, PPE,toiletries, period products, and other essential items???especially during Thanksgiving, Diwali, Christmas, and Kwanzaa. In 2024, CEP served over 22,000 low-income and undocumented LGBTQ+ people, immigrant families, and seniors through pop-up pantries in Flatbush, Brooklyn, and Soundview, The Bronx, which also offered health, housing, and voter resources to promote safety, dignity, and community care.

    Expenses $60,582

  • Launched in 2021, the Caribbean Equality Project???s Trans Justice Unit (TJU) empowers trans, non-binary, and gender-expansive Caribbean immigrants through advocacy,direct support, and community care. Grounded in the legacies of resistance within human rights, labor, and racial justice movements, TJU advances trans liberation by providing access to affirming healthcare, sexual health resources, housing support, economic justice initiatives, workforce development, and immigration assistance for asylum seekers. The unit also leads legislative advocacy to strengthen trans rights and ensure equity, safety, and dignity for Caribbean trans communities.

    Expenses $78,714

  • In 2022, the Caribbean Equality Project (CEP) launched Queeribbean Crossings, a community-centered, transnational conference dedicated to exploring queer and trans Caribbean histories and the ongoing realities of marginalization, resistance, and liberation. Hosted annually by CEP in partnership with the CUNY LGBTQIA+ Consortium, the conference aligns with the 16 Days of Activism to End Gender-Based Violence and Human Rights Day. It confronts gendered and racialized violence while fostering dialogue and action toward community-driven solutions. Queeribbean Crossings centers the intersections of cross-racial solidarity, intimate partner violence, liberation, immigration, trans equity, decriminalization, mental health, and HIV care, with a focus on the lived experiences of Black, Asian, Latinx, and LGBTQ+ Caribbean communities.
