We have moved our announcements concerning state violence against transgender persons to a separate page.
Trans Pride Initiative is working to provide assistance and support for transgender and gender diverse persons in areas of healthcare, housing, employment, education, and public accommodations.
Our initial efforts focused on healthcare and housing issues and assistance. To see some of the materials we have available for information and use, please see the resources pages.
Over the past several years, our work has increasingly focused on applying our mission objectives to prisoner support, particularly Texas trans and queer prisoners.
If you would like to get involved, feel free to email us at admin@tpride.org or see our Committees page to view which committees have active projects!
Last, we will always welcome community input to what we are doing and how we can do better! If you have suggestions, please let us know, but part of our response will probably be to encourage you to become involved because that is the way change is made!
Some of our important projects currently on-going or recently completed.
Project 103 is a cooperative effort between civil rights attorney Moria Meltzer-Cohen and the Austin Community Law Center to challenge the constitutionality of restrictions on name changes for trans persons with a conviction history.
Our Project 103 included a request that the UT Austin School of Law Human Rights Clinic look at the international basis for the right to self-determination of identity, and they created a report of their findings as part of the effort. The project include a survey of persons TPI has corresponded with and the publication of the Naming and Shaming report.
Trans Pride Initiative is a Texas Nonprofit Corporation, designated by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity.
We support the rights of all persons, regardless of gender identity and conviction history, to equal healthcare, housing, education, and employment. We are making the world a better place for all in our family.
