Thank you New York City Anti-Violence Project for leading a customized workshop with our Caregiver Community Group! 🩷🏳️‍⚧️

Parents and guardians of transgender and gender expansive youth learned how to navigate transphobic situations and create safe spaces for their children, with an opportunity to discuss and process as a group.

If you or anyone you know is seeking an affirming space to connect with other families with transgender and gender expansive youth, Gender & Family Project offers monthly in-person community groups for:

- Caregivers & Parents
- Gender Creative Kids (ages 5-10)
- Transgender & Gender Expansive Tweens (ages 10-14)
- Transgender & Gender Expansive Teens (ages 14-18)

We also offer a monthly Virtual Caregiver Community Group for families across the country and English-speaking international families; our next virtual gathering is Thursday, January 22nd.

If you are interested, please reach out to Sanniel at ssanabia@ackerman.org for an intake! We offer a sliding scale; no family will be turned away.

Protect Trans People 🖤 Today and every day 🏳️‍⚧️

“Saturday, January 10. NYCLU, PFLAG NYC, The New Pride Agenda, Trans formative Schools, and local partners hosted a rally for Trans Kids at Union Square, NYC.

As the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox—cases that will shape the future of transgender people’s access to healthcare—New Yorkers came together to oppose ongoing attacks on gender-affirming care and affirmed that trans people deserve dignity, respect, and equal opportunity.”

The U.S. Supreme Court will soon be hearing two cases that will shape the future of transgender people in this country: West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox.

Ahead of these cases and in the midst of continued bigotry around gender-affirming care, PFLAG NYC , The NEW Pride Agenda, and Trans formative Schools , along with other local partners, are joining together to make a statement that trans people deserve dignity, respect, and equal opportunity.

We met in Union Square one year ago to show our city and the world that we are strong, united, and full of love for our communities. We invite you back on Saturday, January 10, at 1:00 p.m. for a rally to say, no matter when or where attacks on our communities happen, we’ve always been here, and we’ll always be here.

NYC has a responsibility to lead, gather, and support trans youth, standing as a beacon and safe haven where every young person is seen, protected, and empowered
