Los Angeles is once again taking a public stand in support of transgender, gender expansive, and intersex (TGI) youth, their families, and their access to gender-affirming care.

On April 15, Councilmember Ysabel Jurado introduced a resolution opposing a formal declaration by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and two proposed federal rules advanced by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services that would significantly restrict access to gender-affirming healthcare for minors.

On a bright Friday morning on Sunset Boulevard, surrounded by community members, elected officials, partners, and chosen family, The TransLatin@ Coalition did something no TGI-led immigrant organization has done before in Los Angeles: we broke ground on land for a building we will own. It will become the home of our future offices, a moment seventeen years in the making.

The TransLatin@ Coalition strongly condemns the recent announcement by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to restrict access to gender-affirming care for transgender and gender-expansive youth.

Protecting trans youth means protecting access to life-saving care.

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.

The TransLatin@ Coalition held its inaugural Walk4Humanity to raise funding that the president has cut during his ongoing anti-trans crusade. The result was a community triumph.

On Sunday, August 24, 2025, Sunset Junction became the epicenter of resilience and unity as hundreds joined Walk4Humanity, a mobilization of love, power, and justice for Trans, Gender Expansive, and Intersex (TGI) individuals—especially Black, Brown, and immigrant communities.

The Walk4Humanity is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 24. It starts at Sunset Junction in Silverlake and ends at Western Ave. in Hollywood. For more information and to register, visit Walk4Humanity.org. This segment aired on the KTLA 5 Morning News on Aug. 19, 2025.

On July 1, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a motion authored by Chair Pro Tem and First District Supervisor Hilda L. Solis, establishing a reward offer of $10,000.00 in the investigation of the case of Sabrina de La Peña, a transgender woman and small business owner.

At The TransLatin@ Coalition, we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our trans and immigrant communities, united by a shared spirit of resilience and hope. In this heartfelt video, our President & CEO, Bamby Salcedo, speaks directly to our community members, recognizing the fear and uncertainty that too often shadows our journeys. Yet she reminds us that those fears cannot define us.
