People of Faith: Defend Trans Lives

Coming in Summer 2024

Calling pro-LGBTQ people of faith! We are living in a terrifying time for trans and nonbinary people and our families, as anti-trans legislation and hateful, false anti-trans rhetoric is sweeping the United States. Worst of all, religion is seen by many as a tool for hate.

This program will equip people of faith—leaders and lay—to understand what’s going on, become more familiar with the experiences and realities of trans and nonbinary people, and gain tools to advocate for trans rights and also ensure that your churches are welcoming and safe spaces for trans/nonbinary people and our families in this moment.

We will be holding live webinars for people in key states, in partnership with faith and advocacy groups in that state. Leading up to the webinar, registrants will receive a series of short videos that will provide a depth of understanding of things like the national legal landscape, trans 101, myths and facts to counter anti-trans rhetoric, and perspectives from trans and cis faith leaders. We will also be packaging video content for people who miss the webinars or live in other states.
