Julius has a number of different Cause Tags which can help you find influencers who support movements like Gender Equality, Marriage Equality, and Transgender Rights. You can also search more broadly with Cause Tags like LGBTQ+ and Equality to find a variety of potential partners to create an exceptional campaign with.
