On August 12, The TransLatin@ Coalition proudly presented Certificates of Appreciation to Los Angeles City Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez and Councilmember Heather Hutt in recognition of their leadership in advancing the TGI Wellness and Equity Initiative. This policy campaign, the culmination of three years of dedicated work, sought funding allocation within the City of Los Angeles to support Transgender, Gender-Expansive, and Intersex-led organizations. 

Councilmembers Eunisses Hernandez, Nithya Raman and Hugo Soto-Martinez introduced legislation directing the City to report back on an ordinance to establish the City of Los Angeles as a “Sanctuary City” and prohibit any City resources, property or personnel from being utilized for any federal immigration enforcement.
