November 17, 2020 -- Today, Tuesday, November 17th at 12pm PST, The TransLatin@ Coalition’s President, and CEO Bamby Salcedo will be participating on the NBC News Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Out & Equal for a virtual panel - The Pandemic, Polls, and Inclusion - hosted by Pete Williams and Janelle Rodriguez of NBC News. Bamby will be sharing the stage and in conversation with nationally recognized LGB organizations and leaders from GLAAD, TAGG Magazine, HRC, Trevor Project, and Out & Equal Workplace Advocates. Joshua Johnson MSNBC’s Anchor will be moderating this panel.
We applaud NBC News for taking initiative to include trans-led organizations in this discussion. As we enter a new administration it is imperative that trans-led organizations are uplifted and centered. Especially, as the global pandemic of COVID-19 has impacted trans, gender non-conforming, and intersex (TGI) communities the hardest.
Bamby will be discussing the specific issues that the TGI community has been facing, such as housing instability, health access, and overall violence. The TransLatin@ Coalition has been a huge source of support for the community in Los Angeles and nationally, and she will be discussing the need for resources specifically dedicated to the TGI community. These conversations are critical and we hope to expand people’s understandings of how to support the TGI community.
Tune into the discussion today, November 17th from 12 pm-1:30 pm PST/3 pm-4:30 pm EST. Register Here: https://outandequal.org/the-pandemic-polls-and-inclusion/?fbclid=IwAR3fUkHinzD8wPjpZbwMAVaPMa7wwXHK5GwYEXeRwvd_JGSzNAE3Q_QHVWY
