Dear community of TLC supporters,
Thank you for all the ways you’ve shown up in 2023.
I wanted to highlight just some of TLC’s important progress from this past year. With the support of our donors, we:
- Responded to 2,000+ requests for critical legal information through our Legal Helpdesk, with a third of those requests coming from trans community members who are incarcerated.
- Sued the State of Texas to stop SB14, the state’s unconstitutional medical care ban that endangers trans youth, infringes on the rights of parents, and threatens doctors.
- Won our case challenging criminalization of self-defense: our client, a Black trans woman in Tennessee, was initially charged with second-degree murder when she fought for her life against the person who trafficked her into sex work—all charges dropped and record expunged.
- Filed a new lawsuit in Tennessee challenging HIV criminalization, which disproportionately impacts trans people living with HIV.
- Launched the groundbreaking Disabled & Deaf Trans People’s Survey, the first of its kind created by and for disabled and Deaf trans people to fill longstanding gaps in research, in particular from trans BIPOC perspectives.
- Launched our new Narrative Lab to train and support communications staff at frontline trans-led organizations across the country and to combat right-wing anti-trans messaging.
Transgender Law Center needs your help to continue our work towards trans liberation for all. We hope you'll renew your support before December 31st or join us as a donor for the first time [[link removed]].
