Los Angeles is once again taking a public stand in support of transgender, gender expansive, and intersex (TGI) youth, their families, and their access to gender-affirming care.

On April 15, Councilmember Ysabel Jurado introduced a resolution opposing a formal declaration by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and two proposed federal rules advanced by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services that would significantly restrict access to gender-affirming healthcare for minors.

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.

The TransLatin@ Coalition strongly condemns the recent announcement by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to restrict access to gender-affirming care for transgender and gender-expansive youth.

Protecting trans youth means protecting access to life-saving care.

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.

California just made history! 🎉 Governor Newsom has signed AB 1487, renaming the state’s Transgender Wellness and Equity Fund to the Two-Spirit, Transgender, Gender Nonconforming, and Intersex (2TGI) Wellness and Equity Fund — a powerful recognition of our diverse community. Alongside this victory, we celebrate a slate of bills we sponsored and supported that advance safety, dignity, and justice for all 2TGI people.

The TransLatin@ Coalition held its inaugural Walk4Humanity to raise funding that the president has cut during his ongoing anti-trans crusade. The result was a community triumph.

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.

On July 1, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a motion authored by Chair Pro Tem and First District Supervisor Hilda L. Solis, establishing a reward offer of $10,000.00 in the investigation of the case of Sabrina de La Peña, a transgender woman and small business owner.

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.

On April 29, 2025, we witnessed a powerful moment in our ongoing fight for justice, dignity, and safety for incarcerated transgender people in California. The Senate Public Safety Committee made it clear that our lives and rights matter — voting down SB 311 (Grove), a harmful and discriminatory bill, and advancing SB 337 (Menjivar), a measure that prioritizes protection and accountability within California’s prison system.
