We hold trainings across the country on college campuses, with front office staff of major sports leagues and institutions like the NBA, NCAA and the MLB and with individual athletes.

We have partnered with teams in major cities like Seattle,[6] New York,[7] and Washington DC,[8] to host Pride Nights and raise awareness about LGBTQ issues.

Institutions will no longer be able to cite a lack of data and reporting as a rationale for inaction, and will offer an industry-wide benchmark for the progress needed to achieve the full dignity and inclusion of the LGBTQ community in sport.

[14] Athlete Ally also applies pressure to global sport governing bodies to ensure their policies around LGBTQ inclusion are existent and consistent.

Athlete Ally successfully launched a global campaign calling on FIBA to overturn its discriminatory ban on players competing in hijabs.

Athlete Ally helped organize Boston sports teams to support the Mass Public Accommodations Bill[19] and worked with the NBA, NCAA, and ACC[20] to move games and championships out of North Carolina over the passing of anti-LGBTQ law HB2.

In addition, Athlete Ally partnered with transgender high school wrestler Mack Beggs to publish a PSA[21] pushing back against the anti-trans bathroom bill introduced in Texas Special Session.
