Discrimination & Civil Rights · California · Free

HRC — largest LGBTQ+ civil rights organization. Workplace and municipality equality indexes, advocacy, resources. Relevant for parents whose kids face school discrimination — IEPs, bathroom access, sports participation, GSA suppression. State human-rights commissions often resolve cases faster than federal EEOC — ask about both paths. School Title IX protections explicitly include LGBTQ+ students; harassment must be addressed by the school. Free, confidential, and open to anyone in the LGBTQ+ community.
