The ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û works in courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties that the Constitution and the laws of the United States guarantee everyone in this country.

If you've been discriminated against based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or HIV status, the ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û wants to hear about it.

What's at Stake

As part of our work to combat the relentless expansion of the criminal justice system, the ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û works to ensure that LGBT people and people living with HIV/AIDS are treated fairly by law enforcement and aren't singled out for violence or discrimination. We challenge policing practices that unfairly target LGBT people and people living with HIV/AIDS and take on unconstitutional conditions in prisons, jails, and immigration detention. From police profiling of trans women of color as sex workers to the violence LGBT people face in custody, criminal justice reform is critically important for the LGBT movement.
