We are incredibly grateful that our Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB-2521 [Transgender, Gender-Variant, and Intersex (TGI) Wellness and Equity Fund] which is an inclusive bill that supports the health care of all TGI people. As we said: "When We Fight, We Win!"
Thank you to all the beautiful people who supported this effort by writing letters, testifying, making phone calls, reposting, and more.
"Together, we are making the change that needs to happen to better the lives of TGI people."

About AB 2521
AB 2521, which would amend the Transgender Wellness and Equity Fund, renaming it the Transgender, Gender-Variant, and Intersex (TGI) Wellness and Equity Fund. The fund already provides funding to support transgender, gender non-conforming, and intersex (TGI) people across the state of California and the updated name provides necessary visibility and representation to gender non-conforming and intersex communities. The renaming of the Fund is necessary to acknowledge all TGI people in budget discourse.
