Chai Rachel Feldblum (born April 1959)[1] is an American legal scholar and activist for disability and LGBT rights.

Meyer Simcha Feldblum was born in Lithuania and survived the Holocaust by living in the forests of Poland.

[8] Esther Feldblum received her Ph.D. in Jewish history from Columbia University and taught for one year at Brooklyn College before dying in a car accident at the age of 41.

[10] Chai Feldblum attended the Yeshiva University High School for Girls in Queens, New York before majoring in Ancient Studies and Religion at Barnard College in the class of 1979.

[11] In 1993, she was the legal director for the Campaign for Military Service, a group which lobbied to overturn policies forbidding gay and bisexual people from serving openly in the U.S. armed forces.

[16] In 2003, Feldblum became co-director of Georgetown's Workplace Flexibility 2010 project, a program developed to improve conditions for employers and employees.

[12] In 2009, President Barack Obama nominated Feldblum for one of the seats on the five-member Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

In testimony before the United States Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, Feldblum testified that claims that she believed in governmental endorsement of polygamy or polyamorous relationships were wrong,[22] consistent with her own writings in which she had always restricted such endorsement to non-sexual domestic partners.

On December 9, 2013, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid filed for cloture on Feldblum's nomination.

She described the firm as "the place from which to help make that institutional change", of preventing harassment from happening in the workplace.
