Dear John,

I’m excited to announce that this giving season, we are matching gifts up to a total of $125,000, thanks to a generous $100,000 gift from Denise Littlefield Sobel and a $25,000 match from an anonymous donor couple.

Your support, at any level, means so much to all of us at TLC in this moment.

We’re living through and responding to widespread attacks on the freedoms of all marginalized communities, especially trans people. But the truth is, TLC is experienced, prepared, and equipped to meet this moment. Our team and our partners across the country have put down roots together, building deep relationships and strengthening power in the courts and on the ground in communities. 

Thanks to you, despite the immense challenges of this past year, we continued to uplift the lived experiences and knowledge of BIPOC, disabled, and HIV+ trans leaders, young people, people in prison, and migrants in every corner of TLC’s work.

We hope you will make a gift today to continue our life saving work.

• Our Legal Helpdesk staff responded to 2,274 legal information requests for questions ranging from workplace and housing rights, name and gender changes including for passports.

• Our litigation team filed Kingdom v. Trump and GSA Network v. Morath on the federal level, boldly fighting for freedoms of some of our most vulnerable community members.

• We grew our collaboration with the GSA Network, now in its 10th year, amplifying the voices of trans and nonbinary youth across the country. Young leaders are now preparing to deliver public education around the upcoming Supreme Court ruling on trans inclusion in sports.

• Our Trans Agenda for Liberation Narrative Lab in investing in the leadership of grassroots partners in key states like Texas, Arkansas, Minnesota, and North Carolina. We recently conducted messaging research that shows there is little to no benefit to limiting ourselves to a defensive, narrow, or appeasing posture when combating anti-trans rhetoric.

Thank you for being with us,

Shelby Chestnut
