Our Work

Lambda Legal is the oldest national organization pursuing high-impact litigation, public education and advocacy on behalf of equality and civil rights for lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people and people with HIV.  The work we do has impact on the way we live — we change laws, policies and ideas.  From our national headquarters in New York and four regional offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas and Los Angeles, our legal and public education experts select the cases and issues that will have the greatest impact in protecting and advancing the rights of LGBT people and those with HIV. 

We make the case for equality in court and through education, and we help individuals obtain and advance their rights by providing legal information about federal laws and the laws in their state. We also offer information and resources to people seeking legal help through our telephone Help Desks and a wide variety of educational publications.
