About Immigration Equality
Immigration Equality is a nonprofit founded in 1994 that works on immigration matters for LGBTQ and HIV-positive people. It began as the Lesbian and Gay Immigration Rights Task Force and took its current name in 2004. The organization describes its goal as securing safe haven and equality for these communities, and it pursues that work through direct legal services, policy advocacy, and impact litigation.
Its direct legal services include free help for LGBTQ and HIV-positive asylum seekers, often delivered through pro bono attorneys whom its staff trains and supports, and a detention hotline for people held in immigration detention. Its clients include asylum seekers, binational couples and families, and detained individuals. Its headquarters is listed in New York City, and directories also list a Brooklyn address. The organization also maintains a Washington, D.C. office and describes its services as available nationwide.
