Trans Justice in the U.S.: A Historical Journey Toward Dignity & Prosperity

This event is FREE and open to the public! It aims to illuminate significant milestones, pivotal movements, and the enduring struggles faced by the Transgender community in their quest for wellness, dignity, and prosperity.
