National Black Justice Coalition

Discrimination & Civil Rights · Maine · Free

Civil rights organization dedicated to empowering Black LGBTQ+ people. Useful for tenants denied housing or evicted because of sexual orientation, gender identity, or HIV status. Keep written records: dates, what was said, who witnessed it. Save texts, emails, voicemails. School Title IX protections explicitly include LGBTQ+ students; harassment must be addressed by the school. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
