Legal Support Program

2SLGBTQIA+ Legal Support Program

 UPDATE: June 11, 2025

Due to the overwhelming number of legal consultation requests we’ve received—driven by the urgent needs of our community in this hostile political climate—we are at capacity and will be pausing our legal request form to ensure we can serve those who have already reached out.

We know the need for support won’t stop. For ongoing legal resources, please connect with our partners at the King County Bar Association’s Neighborhood Legal Clinics

We see you, we’re fighting with you, and we’ll keep pushing for the resources our communities deserve. 💜✊🏽
