Lambda Legal is a national civil rights organization committed to achieving full recognition of the civil rights of LGBTQ people and everyone living with HIV through impact litigation, education, and public policy advocacy.

Founded in 1973, Lambda Legal brings strategic lawsuits that challenge discrimination in areas such as employment, healthcare, education, family rights, and public accommodations. The organization has played a key role in landmark court decisions advancing marriage equality, transgender rights, and protections for people living with HIV.

In addition to courtroom advocacy, Lambda Legal publishes legal resources, Know Your Rights guides, and policy updates to help individuals understand their protections under state and federal law.

If you are facing discrimination or seeking legal information related to LGBTQ or HIV related rights, Lambda Legal provides tools, guidance, and opportunities to connect with their legal team.
