Immigration Equality is a national organization that works to end discrimination in U.S. immigration law, to reduce the negative impact of that law on the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and HIV-positive people, and to help win asylum for those fleeing persecution based on their sexual orientation, transgender identity or HIV-status.

Immigration Equality’s national intake hotline provides free legal information to LGBT and HIV-positive people, and our legal team trains lawyers and represents LGBT and HIV-positive asylum seekers from around the world.
