When extreme lawmakers forced through bills banning gender-affirming care in states across the country, they thought they would have the final word – that trans youth in their state would never again be able to access the medical care they need.

But they underestimated the resilience of our movement, John. The moment the first state bans on gender-affirming care became law, grassroots supporters like you stepped up to help us launch the Trans Youth Emergency Project in 2022. Together, we've supported 1,100 families with patient navigation services and direct grants (totaling over $600,000) to ensure they can still access the healthcare they need.

What started as a rapid response project in the South has now expanded into a nationwide program that reassures trans youth and their families in any state with a ban: You are not alone – and we will help you get the care you need and deserve.

This lifesaving work – which is fueled by small-dollar, grassroots donations from CSE supporters – is making headlines across the country. Check it out:

It's not every day that you can trace the exact impact of your donations and support – but with the TYEP program, we can do exactly that. Supporters like you are directly and tangibly helping families every day and sending a clear signal that in a time of confusion and fear, there is hope.

Every dollar you pitch in today will help CSE meet the moment in 2025 – ensuring that we have the resources to help every single trans young person and their families who needs us next year and beyond.

We can't thank you enough for everything your support has made possible this year.

With gratitude,
The Campaign for Southern Equality Team
