Description
Founded in 1973, Lambda Legal is the oldest and largest national legal organization whose mission is to safeguard and advance the civil rights of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people and those with HIV through impact litigation, education and policy work.
We pursue impact litigation. Our legal experts select the cases that will change or interpret laws in order to have the greatest impact in protecting and advancing the rights of LGBT people and those with HIV.
We win legal victories for clients who seek equality on the job, protection for their parenting or relationship rights, equal access to health care or protection against discrimination because of HIV status. We fight for the rights of transgender people and LGBT seniors. We battle government misconduct and support of discrimination. We also represent clients in cases involving students and schools and the rights of LGBTQ youth in out-of-home care.
Through our Fair Courts Project, we advocate for a fair and impartial judicial system. Our outreach program to Latino communities, Proyecto Igualdad, provides information, resources and support.
We combine our work in the courts with high-impact public education campaigns to help people exercise the rights they have and to build public support for equality.
LGBT people and people with HIV need advocates in every part of the country, and Lambda Legal’s expert staff works for equality in five offices around the country—New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas and Los Angeles. We also maintain a national network of volunteer Cooperating Attorneys. In addition, we operate a Legal Help Desk to respond directly to queries from those who seek legal information and assistance with discrimination related to sexual orientation, gender identity and expression.
