"This project is gathering more than 100,000 photographs of people around the world who choose to stand up and offer their hand for equality, unity, and human rights.

Internationally acclaimed photographer Matt Spencer has set out across the world with his team to capture the power and essence of the equality movement and prove, ""we are stronger when we are together.""

Some people chose to be photographed for human rights, others for civil rights. Some people are taking a stand for women's equality and fair treatment of children. Some people are stepping forward in support of gay, lesbian, trans-gender, and bi-sexual rights, while others are joining the cause to end human trafficking and the sex slave trade.

Regardless of your reason, as long as there is inequality anywhere in the world, there is a cause to stand for. The I AM EQUAL PROJECT gives a face to the people who are making equality a reality today."
