After seven years, the Trans Accountability Project will be coming to an end. We want to express our gratitude to the Chicago Department of Public Health for their genuine engagement with Trans Women of Color and their efforts to address the root causes of Trans workforce development and discrimination.

If you have been a part of TAP as an alumni-scholar, we would love to invite you to our final session with Equality Illinois CEO, Channyn Lynn Parker!

Come through, be in community, and let’s celebrate!
