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.

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.

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.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order targeting gender-affirming care for youth, and because of this, some California clinics have lost vital federal funding to aid people under the age of 19 to assist with gender-affirming care programs.
