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.

Groundbreaking Ceremony for The TransLatin@ Coalition’s new home — a first-of-its-kind community space owned by and for TGI immigrants in Los Angeles. This milestone is more than construction — it is a powerful investment in community resilience, leadership, and the future of TGI lives.

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.

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.

Kalen Allen is an award-winning television personality, actor and digital creator who is passionate about social justice. Kalen serves as the Grand Marshal of the Walk4Humanity. Bamby Salcedo is a trailblazing activist, community leader and the president of the TransLatin@ Coalition the largest organization in the United States dedicated to serving brown and Latinx transgender, non-binary and gender non-conforming communities. The Walk 4 Humanity is a 2-mile walk and celebration to raise critical funds for TLC.

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.

“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.

On May 1, 2025, The TransLatin@ Coalition proudly joined over 90 organizations, unions, and community partners at the International Workers Day March in downtown Los Angeles.

“Hoy tenemos una administración que está viendo que sí estamos ascendiendo a nuestro poder como personas, y nos lo quieren quitar poco a poco. Pero de igual manera vamos a seguir, a abogar, a pelear, a rasguñar, a patear para asegurarnos de que sigamos existiendo.” - Bamby Salcedo, Presidenta y Directora de La Coalición TransLatin@

Newsom made his declaration in an extended conversation with conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old who built the influential Turning Point USA organization that helped President Donald Trump increase his support last fall among the youngest generation of voters. Kirk, like Trump, has been a vocal opponent of allowing transgender women and girls to participate.
