Sacred. Trans. Justice.
A Faithful Call to Learn, Defend, and Act
We are living in a terrifying time for trans people and our families, as a virulent anti-trans political movement seeks to eradicate trans rights and make it illegal to be trans. Offered by the Transforming Hearts Collective in partnership with Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC), this program is designed to equip leaders and lay people of faith to understand and respond to this crisis. Registration is open to all.

This program includes a webinar and five 20- to 35-minute independent study videos. The webinar will feature a panel of MCC leaders speaking to topics such as the state of the anti-trans political landscape, the theology and spirituality of trans justice, and what MCC churches can do to become places of safety and belonging and beacons of justice for trans people in this moment, plus 30 minutes of Q&A.
The independent study videos will provide essential background info from trans faith leaders and national trans advocates from the Transgender Law Center, the National LGBTQ Task Force, the Human Rights Campaign, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, and more, on topics such as trans 101, misconceptions about trans people, the role of Christian Nationalism in the anti-trans movement, and the responsibility of pro-LGBTQ Christians to respond.
