ACLU of Wisconsin

Legal Aid & Advocacy · Wisconsin · Free

State affiliate defending LGBTQ+ civil rights. Relevant for couples whose marriage rights may be contested or who need parentage protections across states. Many name/gender change clinics happen monthly at LGBTQ+ centers; bring photo ID, court fee waiver paperwork, and birth certificate. Bostock v. Clayton County (2020) made workplace LGBTQ+ discrimination illegal under federal Title VII — many people still don't know they're protected. All services free of charge to LGBTQ+ Wisconsin residents and allies.
