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.

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.

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.
