Horrific laws banning gender-affirming care for transgender young people are now on the books in 25 states.

That means in half of the country, transgender youth and their families are unable to access the life-affirming, medically-necessary care they need in the states they call home.

And that's where all of us come in, John: Today, we're announcing a national expansion of our Transgender Youth Emergency Project (TYEP), which now offers resources, grants, and patient navigation services to families in all 25 states nationwide impacted by care bans. Check out our new resource hub and share it with your network!

The Transgender Youth Emergency Project is the *only* national program offering families the resources they need to travel out-of-state to access gender affirming medical care – and it's only possible because of people like you who have supported and believed in this program, allowing us to expand it nationwide.

We've set a goal of raising $25,000 in the next two weeks to help us kick off this national program – every penny of which will help make sure trans youth can access affirming medical care. Can we count on you to chip in $25 or more today?

Over the last 18 months, we've pioneered this groundbreaking program across the South, distributing more than $500,000 in grants to 1,000+ families in 115 states who have been forced to travel to other states to get care. Together, we've made sure that no discriminatory law is blocking these families from accessing the affirming care they need.

But this is a problem bigger than just the South. Right now, families in other regions of the country – in states like South Dakota, Iowa, and Nebraska – are grappling with similar laws that ban affirming care for their trans children. And today, we want to let these families know that they are not alone, and that we're here to help.

The Transgender Youth Emergency Project – in partnership with local organizations – will ensure that every family has access to funding, resources, and patient navigation services they need to get the care they deserve. Pitch in $25 or more now to help us kick off the national Transgender Youth Emergency Project and help any family that needs us.

This program is bringing relief and security to hundreds of families every day – and it wouldn't be possible without supporters like you.
