GMHC is proud to partner with @TLDEF, Casa Anandrea, @CITGny, @SRLP , and the @translatina_org in opposing the latest attempt by the Trump administration to harm immigrants.
Asylee seekers, including LGBTQ asylees and people living w/ HIV deserve our help! – at Queens, NY
A new proposal to narrowly constrain asylum claims would hurt marginalized groups, including LGBTQ folks and those w/ HIV/AIDS

@SRLP Can you help get attention for #KristianRouse? He was almost beaten to death, and Bakersfield police did almost nothing for months. They wouldn't even file a police report the 1st day / didn't investigate for months! #BlackTransLivesMatter

As #PrideMonth comes to an end, we recognize Sylvia Rivera, a Latina transgender rights activist and pioneer for trans women of color. She spent her lifetime championing intersectional awareness & is credited with helping add the “T” to LGBTQIA. #LatinaHistoryisAmericanHistory

This #GiveOUTDay consider donating to a BIPOC or Trans led movement organization: @SRLP, @TransLifeline, @trans_ohio, and @TLDEF are just a few!
Let's celebrate #PrideMonth by affirming, protecting, and uplifting our transgender and BIPOC siblings.

Brayla Stone, a Black Trans woman from Little Rock was found yesterday inside a car in Sherwood.
All news outlets are currently misgendering her. There are reports that her murderer is boasting about her death.
SAY HER NAME!! BRAYLA STONE!

She and Marsha P. Johnson worked separately from the mainstream movement to ensure homeless LGBTQ youth, especially trans youth, were cared for. Today, the @SRLP carries on her legacy, providing resources and services to LGBTQ people in her name. (3/3)

Ugh! Grateful for visionary abolitionist orgs like @SRLP @audrelorde that over a decade ago helped me (and I’m sure many others) learn why hate crimes bill are the worst.

A victory hard won in the courts & on the streets. Grateful to the lawyers, organizers & activists but most grateful to those who had to live stealth or closeted, who lost jobs for living their truth, who left parts of themselves at their employers door. nytimes.com/2020/06/15/us/ga…

A study by the Center for American Progress found that 21% of shelters refuse to serve transgender women.
While in a shelter, 70% of US Trans Survey respondents reported harassment, sexual or physical assault due to their trans identity.
