Finding Legal Services for the LGBT Community Is Getting a Little Easier!
Please join Congressman and Gay Rights Advocate Barney
Frank and the Maine Justice Foundation (MJF) to launch MJF’s
New LGBT Justice Fund, which will provide funding for
nonprofit organizations that address the civil legal aid needs
of low-income and vulnerable LGBT people.
WHEN: December 7, 2016, 5:30 – 8 pm
WHERE: Holiday Inn by The Bay, Portland, ME
WHAT: Cash bar and reception with heavy hors d’oeuvres
WHY: The movement for full equality for LGBT people has seen incredible
progress in a short time. But there are still many threats to the laws that
protect LGBT people. Being both poor and LGBT poses specific challenges
and amplifies the need for legal services for LGBT people to battle
discrimination, find housing, secure benefits, and protect their safety. This
fund will support the needs of this vulnerable population for decades to
come.
