Discrimination & Civil Rights · New Jersey · Free

MAP — independent think tank tracking LGBTQ+ equality laws state by state. Searchable equality maps. A starting point for documentation BEFORE escalation; report contemporaneously even if you don't file yet. State human-rights commissions often resolve cases faster than federal EEOC — ask about both paths. Documenting incidents in writing the same day they happen makes any later claim much stronger. All services free of charge to LGBTQ+ New Jersey residents and allies.
