TIME'S UP Legal Defense Fund

Starting June 2020, the Legal Network for Gender Equity can also help connect you to attorneys for legal help or questions about accessing paid sick leave and paid leave to care for a child whose school or childcare provider is closed because of COVID-19. To learn more about this leave click here.

How it works:

1. Fill out our intake format this link.
2. We will send you the names of three lawyers in the Legal Network for Gender Equity who practice in your area if your situation involves:
   • Sex discrimination at work, as a student in school, or as a patient getting health care;
   • or Accessing paid sick leave and paid leave to care for a child whose school or child care provider is closed because of COVID-19.
3. You are responsible for reaching out to the lawyers.
4. You can look here for additional resources.
5. Lawyers in the Legal Network agree to do a free initial meeting with people coming to them through the Legal Network. Some of these lawyers also offer lower rates or free assistance, but others require payment after the first meeting.

If your case involves sex harassment at work, the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund may be able to help pay for your legal case and for media and storytelling assistance.
