OUR VISION

OUR VISION

The mission of the Magic City legal Center is to provide affirmation through legal advocacy for LGBTQ communities and community members impacted by HIV.​

​

With grant funding awarded by FREE, Birmingham AIDS Outreach (BAO) will expand its legal program to offer affirming legal services for Alabamians who identify as LGBTQ+. Under the guidance of Sydney Duncan, a transgender attorney, BAO’s legal program will offer pro bono legal assistance and clinics designed to address unique circumstances and challenges experienced by LGBQ, transgender, and gender non-conforming Alabamians who face limited or no access to legal services. In addition to legal advocacy, the legal program will offer LGBTQ education and training services across a variety of legal issues through community outreach.
