Trans Justice Initiative
Produced by the
HRC Foundation
Our Mission
The transgender community is beautiful, strong and one of the most resilient in the LGBTQ+ community. HRC's Transgender Justice Initiative works with community-based advocates across the country to make impactful changes for trans people. Together we combat stigma and discrimination, help end trans violence and HIV, promote sexual health and equity, and provide access to work opportunities, professional development and education.
Telling Our Stories
Trans Talks
With Trans Talks, we are coming together to grow our trans community and define our own future using our own voices. RuPaul Drag Race’s Jasmine Kennedie, Kornbread and actress Monroe Alise recently joined HRC to talk about Pride, visibility and coming out.
Celebrating Trans Changemakers
We uplift the stories of our leadership fellows and grant partners to help establish more positive representation, build our community and combat transphobia, stigma and anti-trans violence. When we share our stories we create opportunities to establish prosperity and progress.
Reflecting on the Early HIV Crisis
HRC's Tori Cooper reflects on living as a Black trans woman in the early HIV crisis, a loss of a generation of leaders and the advancement of treatment.
Developing Our Leaders
ELEVATE
An annual fellowship that advances the leadership of transfeminine people by effectively increasing their personal and professional development, particularly in navigating and improving social and public health systems.
ACTIVATE
An annual professional development fellowship designed for trans and non-binary leaders of color. Through Activate fellows become leaders in advocacy and community organizing.
Health Equity Town Hall Events (FL, GA, LA, NC, & TN)
This Pride prioritize your health and join us in events across the south as we work with LGBTQ+ communities of color to take control of their health and address how health departments can better prepare in delivering on health equity for all communities.
Keeping Our Community Safe
Healthy Sex for Trans Bodies
Through messages of sex positivity, public education, and by ensuring our trans communities and Spanish-speaking communities have equitable access to care, we will build a generation free of HIV and stigma. We will end the HIV epidemic in the trans community.
Free Lyft Rides for Public Safety
In partnership with Lyft and trans-focused community-based organizations, HRC is offering free Lyft rides in select cities for medical appointments, job interviews, and more. Since 2020, this partnership has provided nearly $100k in free Lyft rides to the trans and non-binary. Coming soon: see if you qualify, find local partners in your area, and take advantage.
State Laws and Trans Communities
With a record number of anti-LGBTQ+ bills on track to be considered in 2022, we are at the frontlines fighting back against transphobia and pushing for pro-LGBTQ+ legislation that will ensure we have the same equal rights and protection as other protected classes.
Embrace Your Sexuality
We're building a generation free of HIV and embracing sex positivity with My Body, My Health campaign. Are you in?
