What is Restored Information?

Federal agencies across the United States have been removing information that once was readily available to its employees and to members of the public, especially information as it relates to the LGBTQ+ community.

Pride in Exile is committed to restoring information that has been removed (or are at risk of being removed) from Federal agencies websites and platforms that relate to workplace rights and equal opportunity, with a particular focus on LGBTQ+ rights. We’re also providing access to information which we want you to be simply aware. In the description of such items, we clarify we do not endorse or support the information within.

By clicking “Access here” you will be brought to a new window to view the information you selected.

Disclaimer: The information within Restored Information is not classified information. The information once was available to the public with which we are restoring so the public can continue to access valuable resources and information.
