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.
