“In this time, more than ever, is when we all need to stand in solidarity and defend the funds to provide the critical services that our community needs and deserves!” -Bamby Salcedo, President/CEO of The TransLatin@ Coalition.

At The TransLatin@ Coalition, we are deeply concerned by Governor Newsom’s proposed budget, which freezes Medi-Cal expansion for undocumented adults and slashes funding to critical providers like Planned Parenthood. These are not just numbers on a spreadsheet — these are decisions that put the lives of poor, undocumented, trans, and gender expansive people at risk.

The TransLatin@ Coalition vehemently condemns the Department of Health and Human Services’ recent “report” on transgender health care as nothing more than a politically motivated attack on our community.

The TransLatin@ Coalition is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Somos Group to support efforts to secure critical funding for the development of a Trans Wellness Center in Los Angeles.

The TransLatin@ Coalition is extremely disappointed and enraged about the remarks made by Governor Gavin Newsom on his podcast on the issue of trans youth participating in sports.
