This month our Caring Coins are being donated to the Advocates for Transgender Equality (A4TE).
Advocates for Transgender Equality (A4TE) founded in 2024 is a merger of Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund and the National Center for Transgender Equality, two long-time champions for the transgender community.
A4TE has many organizational functions:
• Litigation Program brings cases and files amicus briefs in state and federal courts to protect the rights of transgender and nonbinary people.
• Organizing Department leads initiatives that move transgender people and their allies to take action for trans equality.
• Policy Team exists to give trans people a voice in Washington, D.C, and in statehouses and municipal governments to educate lawmakers about transpeople’s lives and experiences to promote laws and regulations that protect trans people.
• Trans Health Project takes a comprehensive and systematic approach to expanding access to transgender health care.
In a time of increased extremism against trans people and their allies, protecting and expanding their freedom to be who they are has never been more important. Please be generous to support A4TE; a critical group for challenging times.
