| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: TRUTH Program: TRUTH, our TGNC youth leadership program in collaboration with GSA Network, debuted its new, larger national youth leadership council model, with 27 youth leaders who support their peers and conduct social media campaigns for respect and equity. Over the summer of 2018, we held regional gatherings in Atlanta for the Southeastern youth council members; in Chicago for the Northeastern and Midwestern members; and at our Oakland headquarters for Western and Southwestern members. The full national group was brought together subsequently in Utah at GSA Network's National Gathering, and we later convened 16 TRUTH Council members for continued in-depth training in Michigan in conjunction with TLC's National Training Institute in September. This intense investment in these young people has helped to create and sustain TRUTH as a vibrant network of trans youth across the country. TRUTH's priority campaign this year was the GSA Day 4 Gender Justice where the TRUTH Council released their TRUTH Nine Point Manifesto (https://ourtranstruth.org/truth-nine-point-manifesto/). It includes political education around various social movements and their intersections with gender justice, and has been supported by social media outreach. TRUTH was also able to have rapid response to the memo leak with this petition and call to action: https://unite.gsanetwork.org/petitions/show-up-for-trans-people-and-against-the-memo. TRUTH supports youth in multiple ways--from campaign development and skill building to basic needs. While some youth have supportive family and communities, others are also struggling with family rejection and homelessness. The TRUTH Council has been successful in creating a supportive environment where youth feel safe being vulnerable, as well as the capacity to connect youth to immediate and tangible resources as needed. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: TLC@SONG: We are completing our analysis of our groundbreaking Grapevine survey of TGNC needs in the South, and we continued to invest deeply in leadership development in the region. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Black LGBTQIA+ Migrant Project (BLMP): In New York, BLMP hosted a gathering that brought together over 30 community members, laying the groundwork for a NYC network that would be a resource and political home to community members based in the area. BLMP also hosted a Southern BLMP convening in Atlanta, Georgia and over 60 Black LGBTQI+ migrants convened to discuss the needs of their community and build with each other. With TLC, we co-planned and co-led the national #AbolishICE convening Albuquerque which brought 100 LGBTQ+ migrants, mostly people of color, together for 3 days of community building. On the 3rd day we shut down a major intersection for 3 hours to draw attention to the death of Roxsana in ICE custody as well as the continued detainment of Udoka Nweke and other LGBTQ+ migrants. BLMP led workshops at the BYP 100 Convening, the Allied Media and Money for Our Movement conferences on BLMP?s work and the experiences of the broader community; met with LGBTQ groups in Lagos and Abuja (Nigeria) including The Initiative for Equal Rights and W.H.E.R. to learn about the political landscape, introduce BLMP, and talk about US immigration issues; and led a workshop and participated in a story-telling event at the Soros Justice Conference. We took part in the Movement for Black Lives policy retreat and co-authored the Migrant Justice policy paper that will serve as the policy backbone for M4BL?s work. We were invited and attended CINEBEH, the largest LGBT conference in Brazil and keynoted the conference where we spoke about the realities for Black LGBTQ+ migrants in the US. In response to the intensified targeting of LGBTQ+ people in Tanzania, we held a protest at the Tanzanian embassy in DC. We led a number of conversations, workshops and trainings including at Mijente?s Lanzate, its annual membership meeting, SONG?s Bayard Rustin convening, the National Immigration Integration Conference, etc. We are thrilled to report that Udoka Nweke, a Black gay migrant whom we?d been fighting to get out of detention for much of the past year was released on parole. We have begun the process of getting him settled in new location and raising funds he can live on while awaiting his work permit. We have also been assisting a 52-year-old Jamaican trans woman detained at Cibola Detention Center in New Mexico, connecting her with an attorney and raising funds to cover key costs for her. We are also supporting the cases of detainees from Cameroon and Angola held at Adelanto Detention Center. We started providing post-release support for a member of the previous LGBT caravan, a Garifuna Honduran trans woman who traveled with the late Roxsana Hernandez and was locked up in Cibola along with her when she passed. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: Other Programs: Besides our general programs, communications and policy advocacy work, we want to highlight the following: Black Trans Circles (BTC) Program: Black Trans Circles (BTC) is new program created by Raquel Willis, funded by a Soros Equality Fellowship and hosted by Transgender Law Center. BTC is building the leadership of Black trans women in the South and Midwest to create community solutions for prevention, healing, and resilience in response to violence. In March 2018, BTC launched with a pilot convening in New Orleans, LA. Over the course of two days, nine Black trans women from the local area were gathered to discuss their experiences, how violence has impacted their communities and how to move forward with strategies of transformation. Healthcare Access: In health-related advocacy, we partnered with the National Center for Transgender Equality to prepare to defend the ACA?s nondiscrimination provisions from threats signaled by the Administration. We also continued litigation (with co-counsel) against Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego. TLC's legal challenge to the Veterans Health Administration?s sexual reassignment surgery exclusion resulted in a VA call for public comments on making SRS available to veterans. TLC submitted extensive comments. |
