In a pivotal moment for the transgender, gender nonconforming, and intersex (TGI) community, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass made a historic visit to The TransLatin@ Coalition (TLC) offices, marking a significant step forward in advocacy and support for TGI  Latinx individuals.

Through collaborative efforts and unwavering dedication, the Coalition has played a pivotal role in shaping discussions and policies to improve TGI individuals' lives across the United States.
