Leading up to Trans Day of Remembrance on November 20, JDI hosted a week of programming for Trans Week of Awareness: Capacity Building to Support Trans Survivors.

Nationwide, organizations are being pressured to erase trans people from their work and public presence. We know that we must hold the line and build capacity within our coalition to better serve trans survivors.

To get us started, we held a week of workshops and webinars by and with trans and LGBTQ+ experts. We are also preparing to launch two Trans Resource Guides: one survivor-facing and one advocate-facing.

The week was a reminder about trans joy, the power of allyship, and the strength of our coalition.
