Many of us would like to help trans youth & their supportive frightened parents in this time of being scapegoated. This program ensures you and colleagues are actually ready to give them the informed support they deserve, whether family law is your day job or a possible pro bono case. Please share!

It was incredibly inspiring to look out from the NYC pride float to a sea of queer faces of every age and ethnicity, beaming, fist-pumping, moved and triumphant. Our joy is our freedom and we've got SO MUCH OF IT! 🏳️‍🌈

My first legal community event was the NYC Bar pride reception in 2002 while I was a law student. I was wowed by the history and beauty of the building. It was a beautiful full circle moment to be back as a celebrated leader in the NYC legal community, in a field then scarcely recognized. Progress!

NYC residents, use your voice! In less than one minute of your time, send this pre-written letter to all 21 NY City Council Members on the Budget Negotiation Team to make sure they keep queer immigrants prioritized in the NYC budget. Please share to spread the word. 🙏 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈

Its an honor to receive this award from the mainstream NYC legal community. I feel the allyship with the movement for queer justice. I'd love to see some of you, especially lawyers and legal workers, at the NYC Bar Pride Reception next Monday June 15. 🏳️‍🌈

Keep the protest in your pride & take action with us! Join us as we advocate for funding for local organizations serving the influx of queer people coming to NYC for safety from other states & other countries. Together we can make sure they dont face poverty but get the warm welcome they deserve.

Pride was born as a riot, and has always been an act of defiance. During my life, I survived an internment camp. I came out at 68. I've watched rights get won and now watch them being rolled back. Yet I'm still here, still proud, and still holding Brad's hand.

As person who's lived an adventurous life, I just had the most depressing & boring anxiety dream. I've become a middle-aged person living through an affordability crisis- plus meat-eaters guilt. I had an intense anxiety dream about leaving my expensive organic meat out of the fridge & wasting it.

After being on the team that drafted these model ordinances, its so incredible & empowering to see these laws pass all across the country at a municipal level, in Portland, West Hollywood, and beyond. US democracy still functions best at a local level-may this encourage you to utilize that power! 💪

I’ve been an attorney serving LGBTQIA+ people in NYC for 20 years. As queer and transgender people move from other states to New York City, we need additional funding urgently to provide them with the safety and welcome they deserve in our great city. I was glad to lift my voice at City Hall.

As trans people are treated as scapegoats nationwide, many flee to safer places in the US like NYC. With our high cost of living, there's a risk they could face homelessness or lack of medical care. Join the leaders of the NYC LGBTQIA+ community as we rally for city funding to address this!

I often hear from folks in corporate jobs that they can't help with justice movements, with regret. But corporate employees have SO much power to push their employers to do better! Seize it! 1 way: Push your employer to host a pride event with a paid speaker from a small queer nonprofit like ours.🏳️‍🌈

Pete Hegseth removed 4 decorated Army officers—2 Black, 2 women—from a promotion list. The Army Secretary refused, calling their records exemplary. Hegseth overrode it. Possibly illegally. They gave decades to this country. He erased them & called it meritocracy. This is white Christian nationalism.

As an American who claims Irish heritage, this is the most moving tribute to the Irish I've heard from someone who is not Irish. Today on St. Patrick's Day, I claim it as a day to celebrate the resistance spirit of Ireland, so often in solidarity with oppressed people because they've been there.

Minnesotans deserve restitution from ICE's terror campaign. The ICE surge cost Minneapolis $200 million in just one month. That’s before overtime, charter flights, and detention contracts. Taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to subsidize their own trauma.
