ACLU of New Mexico

Legal Aid & Advocacy · New Mexico · Free

State affiliate defending LGBTQ+ civil rights. Worth contacting after workplace, housing, or healthcare discrimination — most cases have a tight statute of limitations. Discrimination claims have short windows — federal EEOC is 180–300 days from the incident depending on state. Second-parent adoption is still recommended even after marriage equality, especially for travel across hostile states. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
