Los Angeles, CA – We are proud to share that our team presented the TGI Housing Initiative (TGI HI) during the Los Angeles County Housing & Homelessness Cluster Meeting on June 11th, 2026, highlighting the urgent need for investment in the infrastructure that would support Transgender, Gender-Expansive, and Intersex (TGI) communities experiencing housing instability and homelessness.

The TransLatin@ Coalition took to the streets of Hollywood for the 56th annual LA Pride Parade, bringing Trans Power to one of the most iconic celebrations in the country, and making sure our community was seen, heard, and celebrated.

There are moments that remind you exactly why this work matters. Sunday, June 7, 2026 was one of them.

Santa Monica Boulevard was electric. Thousands of people lined the streets of West Hollywood, flags waving, music shaking the pavement, voices rising above it all. And right there, among the floats and the dancers and the sea of color, was our familia, The TransLatin@ Coalition, marching under a banner that said everything it needed to say: Trans Power.

This is your opportunity to join us to celebrate the 2026 Pride season and march along Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood with The TransLatin@ Coalition in style and with unwavering pride. 

The TransLatin@ Coalition joined hundreds of LGBTQ+ community members and allies this past Sunday at the 43rd Annual Long Beach Pride Parade to celebrate unity under the Fearless and Free theme. 

This year, The TransLatin@ Coalition decided the theme for our organization should be Trans and Proud.

Update (May 15, 2026): The City of Long Beach has announced the cancellation of the 2026 Long Beach Pride Festival due to safety concerns related to permit compliance. The Long Beach Pride Parade is still scheduled to take place on Sunday, May 17. You can read the City’s official statement here: City of Long Beach press release (longbeach.gov)

On Tuesday, April 21, 2026, The TransLatin@ Coalition hosted a job fair at the West Hollywood Aquatics & Recreation Center, connecting trans, gender expansive, and intersex individuals with employers who see them, value them, and want to hire them.

At The TransLatin@ Coalition, one of our core beliefs is simple: to make change happen, you have to be the change. That's exactly what we did, alongside 20 participating employers and organizations.

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.
