FreeState Justice
FreeState Justice
FreeState Justice emerged from the merger of FreeState Legal Project and Equality Maryland in spring 2016, uniting two pioneering organizations to create Maryland's only statewide LGBTQ legal advocacy nonprofit. Based in Baltimore, MD, this organization is built on the conviction that low-income LGBTQ individuals deserve more than legal representation—they deserve attorneys who understand their unique challenges and treat them with genuine respect and understanding. The mission of FreeState Justice reflects a deep commitment to the LGBTQ community across Maryland. The organization recognizes that despite incremental judicial victories at the national level, low-income LGBTQ Marylanders continue to face systemic discrimination and complex legal obstacles that threaten their ability to live authentically. FreeState Justice responds to this reality by combining direct legal services with education and outreach, ensuring that vulnerable community members have access to knowledgeable, compassionate advocates who can navigate the intersection of law and LGBTQ identity. With a team of fierce advocates from across Maryland and beyond, FreeState Justice brings diverse backgrounds in law, grassroots organizing, and political activism to serve the state's LGBTQ communities. The organization partners with community groups like BLAQ Equity Baltimore to deepen engagement and amplify support for marginalized populations within the LGBTQ community. Through pro bono legal services, policy advocacy, and community education, FreeState Justice works daily to create an inclusive Maryland where all LGBTQ people are free to live authentically and thrive.

This month we’re taking our reading space for Black women and Black queers back onto Baltimore’s waters! We’ll be casually chatting about the August pick, They All Fall in Love at the End by Haili Blassingame , but having read the book is not a requirement! This is an opportunity to connect, chat books, and explore new (or re-discover) titles and authors while enjoying the Baltimore harbor and sunset. Bring a book (or two or a few) to swap! Regularly, The Black Folx Book Club meets in person at our Remington store, but this time we’ll be meeting on the Fells Point Baltimore Water Taxi. Please purchase your ticket here to let us know you'll join us! We'll head out from -- and return to -- the Fells Point water taxi stop at 901 S Broadway, and spend two hours enjoying the ride and a gorgeous view of the Baltimore sunset. Your ticket gets you a seat on the boat, a glass of bubbly, and snacks! (If you want to bring your own food or drinks, you are welcome to!) Due to the nature of this event, we are unable to offer refunds except in the case of emergency or illness. Please contact the store if you have any questions, or extenuating circumstances.
