Join TGI leaders and trans-led community-based organizations advocating for a more inclusive and equitable Los Angeles County budget that prioritizes the health and well-being of underserved communities.

Amidst fractured national political climate, transphobic legislation, and deficit rhetoric, the City and County of Los Angeles can continue to be a refuge for TGI communities and invest in the livelihoods of traditionally marginalized residents and constituents.

Speakers include:

  • Bamby Salcedo, President and CEO of The TransLatin@ Coalition, Care First Community Investment Advisory Body Member

  • Jaden Fields, Co-Director. Mirror Memoirs. CA TGI Policy Alliance.

  • Megan Castillo, Policy and Advocacy Manager at La Defensa, and Coordinator of the Re-Imagine LA Coalition, Care First Community Investment Advisory Body Member

  • Queen Shannon Gipson, Unique Women’s Coalition. CA TGI Policy Alliance.

  • Trans Woman Community Elder. Testimony.
