About ALMA Chicago
ALMA Chicago is a leading LGBTQ service organization dedicated to providing support, resources, and advocacy for the Latinx and LGBTQ+ communities. Join us in our mission to create a more inclusive and accepting society.

Mission
Founded in 1989 amidst the AIDS epidemic, ALMA is rooted in advocating for the fair treatment and equality of the Latinx LGBTQ+ community. As Latinx and LGBTQ+ people, we are not a monolith, but our histories, accomplishments, struggles, and humanity unites us all in the fight for an equitable and more just society.
​
Our mission is simple: to fight for the rights of the Latinx Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, and gender-expansive community by advocating for fairness and equality while affirming Latinx LGBTQ culture.
