Being together in community is a powerful antidote to these difficult and painful times. At SPARK this Friday, October 16th at 5 PM Pacific/ 8 PM Eastern, log on to share digital space with friends and family of the Transgender Law Center. We will lift up the Trans Agenda for Liberation, a blueprint for the future we all deserve, hear from courageous transgender leaders throughout the nation, and honor those we have lost.

SPARK is virtual and FREE to all. Register today and get the link to join this moving virtual event. You can also watch here on the SPARK page.

SPARK will be captioned, audio-described, and Spanish and ASL interpreted. Please get in touch if you have any accessibility questions.
