This year in particular, our democracy and civil rights are under attack like never before. 

Chosen Family Law Center is making a major impact in New York City and New York State on civil rights policy, and we’re building a fortress from federal and other state interference. This work safeguards democracy and is a national model.

Our multifaceted approach offers individual clients free legal representation, and we work towards systemic transformation through expansive public and professional education that’s cited nationwide, and by drafting and passing laws in New York and beyond to protect LGBTQIA+ and non-nuclear communities — which defends democracy and civil rights for all of us!

Make a year-end donation today!! Help us protect trans people, bolster the rights of queer parents & chosen families, and create a safe fortress around New York through legislative advocacy!

We need to focus on passing laws to protect democracy rather than fundraising in 2026 - and we rely on our nearest and dearest to bolster our work. 

Local civil rights advocacy matters, but is massively underfunded. We need your support in this critical moment!

In addition to making a donation, it helps if you share our social media posts with a note about why our work matters to you, encouraging others to follow along and donate if they can. You can find us here: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Bluesky. 

Read on to take a look back at our achievements in 2025 and our plans for 2026.

From our chosen family to yours, 

The Team at Chosen Family Law Center
