ACLU of Minnesota

Legal Aid & Advocacy · Minnesota · Free

State affiliate defending LGBTQ+ civil rights statewide. Worth contacting after workplace, housing, or healthcare discrimination — most cases have a tight statute of limitations. Local LGBTQ+ bar associations maintain referral lists of affirming attorneys; many offer reduced-fee consults. Trans people changing IDs typically need to update SSA, state DMV, passport, and birth certificate separately — order matters. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
