This morning, The TransLatin@ Coalition gathered at Los Angeles City Hall to demand full support for the TGI Wellness and Equity Initiative — a long-overdue investment in the safety, health, and dignity of transgender, gender expansive, and intersex (TGI) Angelenos. Speaking at the event, COO and Vice President Maria Roman-Taylorson called on city leaders to fund the community organizations that have led this work for decades, urging immediate action to ensure equity and justice for TGI communities across Los Angeles.

A TLC & UCLA study found 40% of trans immigrants in LA County are homeless and 54% of transgender Latinas unemployed—rates far exceeding other populations.

On October 18, 2025, The TransLatin@ Coalition joined thousands of voices at Gloria Molina Grand Park for the No Kings Rally & March — a day that will live in the spirit of our movement.

California just made history! 🎉 Governor Newsom has signed AB 1487, renaming the state’s Transgender Wellness and Equity Fund to the Two-Spirit, Transgender, Gender Nonconforming, and Intersex (2TGI) Wellness and Equity Fund — a powerful recognition of our diverse community. Alongside this victory, we celebrate a slate of bills we sponsored and supported that advance safety, dignity, and justice for all 2TGI people.

New research from the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, in partnership with the TransLatin@ Coalition, finds that about three-quarters (73%) of immigrant respondents to the LA County Trans & Nonbinary Survey—including 80% of trans Latina immigrants—live at or below the federal poverty level, compared to 44% of non-immigrant respondents.

The TransLatin@ Coalition (TLC), the largest trans-led organization in the United States founded by Latina immigrants, will host its 11th Annual GARRAS (Groundbreaking Activism Redirecting & Reforming All Systems) Fashion Show on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at 8:00 PM at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood.

AB 1487 is about reclaiming space, funding healing, and building a future where all 2TGI people can thrive. Your email or phone call could make the difference in securing Governor Newsom’s signature.

If approved, the funds will go towards homelessness prevention

Yesterday, September 17, was a powerful day for our community. The Policy Department of The TransLatin@ Coalition proudly hosted a press conference outside the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency (LACAHSA) board meeting to launch our TGI: Housing Initiative — and it was nothing short of inspiring.
