The National
Center for Lesbian Rights has launched the Family Protection
Project, which will focus on improving access to family law
services for low-income LGBT parent families.
The Family
Protection Project will work to provide specialized training
and materials to legal services programs in California,
Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas,
and Wisconsin in order to improve existing legal
services for impoverished LGBT families, the center
announced in a press release.
The project will
help low-income LGBT parents understand their rights and
protect their relationships with their children. The
center is also reaching out specifically to
people of color and to the few organizations willing
to provide free representation for low-income LGBT families.
