Woodhull Freedom Foundation is the only national human rights organization working full time to protect the fundamental human right to sexual freedom. Our work includes fighting censorship, eliminating discrimination based on gender or sexual identity or family form, and protecting the right to engage in consensual sexual activity and expression. We do this through advocacy, education, and coalition building.
Every other Wednesday, our bi-weekly newsletter aggregates seven articles central to Woodhull’s mission and work. Check out our archives below for our newsletters and articles.
