This morning, The TransLatin@ Coalition gathered at Los Angeles City Hall to demand full support for the TGI Wellness and Equity Initiative — a long-overdue investment in the safety, health, and dignity of transgender, gender expansive, and intersex (TGI) Angelenos. Speaking at the event, COO and Vice President Maria Roman-Taylorson called on city leaders to fund the community organizations that have led this work for decades, urging immediate action to ensure equity and justice for TGI communities across Los Angeles.

We at The TransLatin@ Coalition were thrilled to host Celebrating TGIWE Investment on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, on the front steps of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in Downtown Los Angeles, CA

Los Angeles County has made a significant stride towards equity and inclusion with the launch of the Transgender, Gender Non-Conforming, and Intersex Wellness and Equity (TGIWE) Initiative. This groundbreaking $7 million investment represents a historic commitment to supporting nine organizations, providing them with the resources and guidance necessary to become future county contractors.
