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.
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.
