Dear Friends and Partners, At the heart of HRC’s mission is the pursuit of justice for transgender, gender non-conforming, non-binary and for all LGBTQ people. Whether you’re transgender or cisgender, we are in this fight together and none of our progress is possible without you — our supporters. As we continue our fight for justice, our team wants to keep you up-to-date on our initiatives, programs and partnerships. It is my hope that this regular newsletter will be a resource for you moving forward. In solidarity,
Monday: HRC’s Foundation will release a new report on the needs of transgender and non-binary young people Tuesday: Check out HRC’s social channels for a celebration of new transgender and non-binary elected officials Wednesday: Join us for an exclusive screening and discussion with the subject of the new documentary “Mama Gloria,” as well as the filmmaker — a member of HRC’s Parents for Transgender Equality Council Thursday: Join us for another exclusive screening and discussion, about the new documentary “Born to Be” about the importance of trans-affirming health care Friday: Join our Community Conversation with Survivors of Violence, featuring transgender advocates and family. And share our report on the epidemic of violence, with calls to action for all. In memoriam:
We would be remiss for not noting the passing of the iconic Ms. Monica Roberts. The New York Times wrote, “Ms. Roberts started her blog, TransGriot, in 2006, at a time when coverage of transgender issues by the mainstream media was limited.” Monica served as a loud and important voice advocating for trans individuals. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her. Thank you for being a fierce warrior for justice.
