protecting civil rights and
challenging discrimination

Protecting the right to marry, work, learn, reside, associate and be equal is fundamental to preventing discrimination and ensuring equal opportunity. SLC has tirelessly worked to protect civil rights, end discrimination, and eliminate prejudice and unjust barriers in housing, health care, employment, education, homeless shelters, and public services. We have sued under the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act, Title VII, Fair Housing Act, Section 1981, Section 1982, and the U.S. Constitution to challenge discrimination based on disability, national origin, race, mental health, HIV, and sexual orientation.
