“Hoy tenemos una administración que está viendo que sí estamos ascendiendo a nuestro poder como personas, y nos lo quieren quitar poco a poco. Pero de igual manera vamos a seguir, a abogar, a pelear, a rasguñar, a patear para asegurarnos de que sigamos existiendo.” - Bamby Salcedo, Presidenta y Directora de La Coalición TransLatin@

Our organization and Linda’s family demand a thorough and transparent investigation and accountability process looking into the circumstances surrounding Linda’s death. This is a critical step toward ensuring justice for Linda and her family.

Newsom made his declaration in an extended conversation with conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old who built the influential Turning Point USA organization that helped President Donald Trump increase his support last fall among the youngest generation of voters. Kirk, like Trump, has been a vocal opponent of allowing transgender women and girls to participate.

The TransLatin@ Coalition is extremely disappointed and enraged about the remarks made by Governor Gavin Newsom on his podcast on the issue of trans youth participating in sports.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order targeting gender-affirming care for youth, and because of this, some California clinics have lost vital federal funding to aid people under the age of 19 to assist with gender-affirming care programs.

“It is disappointing that Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) continues to fall short in fully supporting trans youth when our youth most need people to care for them.”

President & CEO, The TransLatin@ Coalition

The TransLatin@ Coalition fiercely condemns President Trump’s latest executive orders—ruthless attacks on gender-affirming care, the freezing of federal funding, and other policies designed to harm our community.

California’s largest LGBTQ+ rights organizations, including the Translatin@ Coalition, are urging Governor Gavin Newsom and state legislators to step up and protect the community from the potential threats of a second Trump presidency. In a letter sent today, these groups are calling for stronger legal protections, increased funding to address discrimination in public schools, and the creation of a fund to help individuals from hostile states relocate to California.

Los Angeles County has made a significant stride towards equity and inclusion with the launch of the Transgender, Gender Non-Conforming, and Intersex Wellness and Equity (TGIWE) Initiative. This groundbreaking $7 million investment represents a historic commitment to supporting nine organizations, providing them with the resources and guidance necessary to become future county contractors.

This year's GARRAS (Groundbreaking Activism Redirecting & Reforming All Systems) fashion show was a night to remember. As The TransLatin@ Coalition celebrated its 15th anniversary, or quinceañera, we were filled with gratitude for the incredible journey and the continuous support of our community.

The TransLatin@ Coalition (TLC) is uniquely prepared to support California healthcare providers as it ensures its staff completes evidence-based cultural competency training to provide trans-inclusive healthcare by the March 1, 2025 deadline.
