Trans rights are under attack—but our community is resilient and strong! Here are a few major successes from Callen-Lorde’s recent history as advocates for trans rights.

• 2024: Demonstrated and lobbied to get the Adams administration to enact a $112 billion budget deal that reinstated HIV services funding.
• 2021: Worked with allies and partners in coalition to pass numerous important bills for our community, like the Repeal of Walking While Trans.
• 2017: Convened a statewide network now called Trans Health Advocates of New York (THANY) to hold New York State regulators and insurers accountable after years of denials from public and commercial insurers.This coalition continues to meet monthly.

Every February, we host an annual advocacy day in Albany to advocate for LGBTQ health equity and justice. Sign up for Care With Action to join future advocacy events!
