Resources that Protect You:
On LawHelpNY we have new articles to help you understand how to be safe and how to help your family, friends, and neighbors stay safe too.
-
If you are an immigrant or a person of color who is afraid of police and immigration enforcement, read our Make a Plan article to learn about protecting your rights.
-
If you are LGBTQ+, learn about the laws that protect you, and what to do if you are the victim of a hate crime.
-
If you are pregnant and need an abortion or related health care, learn about New York's laws to protect women's health. If you are from a state that restricts abortion, learn how to safely research your options and obtain the care you need.
- If you want to help others, learn about bystander intervention to keep people safe from racist, sexist, or other kinds of harassment. Or sign up to become a Legal Observer, to preserve our rights to free speech and protest.
For help to find more information, connect with a LiveHelp volunteer, Monday through Thursday, on chat.
