Join The fight to make Maryland inclusive for all


Now more than ever, Maryland needs advocates to stand against the hate rising across the country. FreeState Justice works every single day to fight against this discrimination and provide LGBTQ+ Marylanders the support they need — but we can't do it without you!

By Joining  The Leadership Circle, Donors Help Our Organization serve over 1,500 LGBTQ+ Marylanders By

  • Contributing to our impact litigation, which directly assists 250,000 people in Maryland
  • Support our outreach and services to people most likely to experience bias, like those living with HIV, victims of crime, transgender and gender non-conforming people, communities of color, youth, people with low-incomes, and geographically under-served communities
  • Help us fund projects not covered by grants and implement policies that protect LGBTQ+ people throughout Maryland
