Impact of Your Support

Pride Partners play a pivotal role in sustaining our mission. Your contributions enable us to defend and protect the rights of LGBTQ+ New Mexicans. Through the Safe2BeYou Project, we provide free civil legal assistance to LGBTQ+ survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking across the state. Our legal services cover a wide range of issues, including housing, healthcare access, employment problems, family law, civil rights, and more.

Your support directly assists us in providing these crucial services free of charge to the LGBTQ+ community in New Mexico. Specifically, your donations help cover court filing fees for our clients, many of whom are children, which can range between $100-300 per person. New Mexico Legal Aid also works to combat discrimination through administrative, state, federal, and appellate case advocacy. On average, those cases of high impact cost between $1,000-$5,000 due to the need for engaging community experts at key stages in litigation.
