Protect housing access for trans & Two-Spirit people. A proposed HUD rule could make discrimination in housing and shelter programs easier by removing critical protections for trans, intersex, and gender-expansive people. Submit a public comment by 06/29. In solidarity w/ Native Organizers Alliance.

Freedom was fought for. That is the story of Juneteenth, and it is the story of Dr. Opal Lee who, at 90 years old, decided this fight belonged to her and helped ensure Juneteenth was recognized as a federal holiday. Courage multiplied by community is how this country has always moved forward.

#Juneteenth reminds us that freedom is more than a date in history. It’s the ongoing fight for dignity, fair pay, and the power to control our own labor. The work continues because working people deserve more than survival. We deserve money, power and respect.

In Feb. 2026, the Trump administration removed the Pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument without notice or explanation. Two months later, we secured a court-enforceable settlement requiring the NPS to restore it.  All Pride Month, we're highlighting the people at the center of the fight.

Today, November 20th, is Trans Day of Remembrance, a day meant to honor the memory of trans people who were lost to transphobic violence. We remember and mourn for those we’ve lost, and will continue to work towards a world without transphobic violence.

Trans Day of Remembrance is a day to honor the memory of trans people who were lost to transphobic violence. Dark blue textured background. At the bottom, there are illustrated candles that are the colors of the trans flag (blue, pink, and white). Text reads: Trans Day of Remembrance started in 1999 with a vigil to commemorate Rita Hester, a Black trans woman who was murdered the year before. Today we remember those we’ve lost to anti-trans violence, particularly trans women of color. Dark blue textured background. Text reads: At ASAN, we recognize that autistic people are more likely to be LGBTQ+ than non autistic people. We stand in solidarity with our trans siblings and recognize how our communities overlap. Transgender autistic people are often denied the autonomy, recognition and respect they need to live according to their gender identity. Misperceptions about what it means to be transgender, or about autistic people’s ability to understand their gender or make decisions about their bodies, often prompt service providers or family members to stand in the way of transgender autistic people’s attempts to live life with authenticity and dignity. Dark blue textured background. At the bottom, there are illustrated candles that are the colors of the trans flag (blue, pink, and white). Text reads: While we mourn, it is also vital that we take action to protect our trans community from discrimination in every area of society. ASAN will continue to fight back against attacks on trans rights and work towards a world in which transgender autistic people are respected and included everywhere.
