“It is with a very heavy heart that I have to share with you that our beautiful sister Maritxa Vidal who was one of our leaders in Chicago and a board member of our organization has passed away due to cancer.” -Bamby Salcedo

Members of transgender communities just celebrated a historic win: a $13 million wellness and equity fund in California, which is the first of its kind in the nation.

Bamby Salcedo is president and CEO of The TransLatin@ Coalition, an L.A.-based organization that led the effort alongside more than 20 groups.

In the Summer of 2019, the TransLatin@ Coalition and Gender Justice LA will bring together 15 TGI young people to participate in a 3-month leadership program.

The #TransPolicyAgenda will serve as a strategy that will support members of our community to get to a better place within our society.

Thank you to all who have supported us and celebrated with us during the opening of The Center for Violence Prevention & Transgender Wellness on February 1, 2017.

Our organization, in partnership with The California Endowment and Jacqueline Caraves embarked in a new task to amplify the needs of Trans Latin@s in the southern part of our golden state. The sole purpose of this project was to make an assessment about what are the needs that would make Trans Latin@s in southern California healthy individuals.
