How to Recognize and Address Discrimination, Legal Action Center (2020)
This booklet is for people with HIV, AIDS, a substance use disorder and/or a conviction record who want to know their rights to be free of discrimination. The section on criminal records applies mainly in New York, but the other sections have useful information for people throughout the United States.
The Legal Action Center (LAC) uses legal and policy strategies to fight discrimination, build health equity, and restore opportunity for people with criminal records, substance use disorders, and HIV or AIDS.
