Protect Trans People 🖤 Today and every day 🏳️‍⚧️

“Saturday, January 10. NYCLU, PFLAG NYC, The New Pride Agenda, Trans formative Schools, and local partners hosted a rally for Trans Kids at Union Square, NYC.

As the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox—cases that will shape the future of transgender people’s access to healthcare—New Yorkers came together to oppose ongoing attacks on gender-affirming care and affirmed that trans people deserve dignity, respect, and equal opportunity.”

The U.S. Supreme Court will soon be hearing two cases that will shape the future of transgender people in this country: West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox.

Ahead of these cases and in the midst of continued bigotry around gender-affirming care, PFLAG NYC , The NEW Pride Agenda, and Trans formative Schools , along with other local partners, are joining together to make a statement that trans people deserve dignity, respect, and equal opportunity.

We met in Union Square one year ago to show our city and the world that we are strong, united, and full of love for our communities. We invite you back on Saturday, January 10, at 1:00 p.m. for a rally to say, no matter when or where attacks on our communities happen, we’ve always been here, and we’ll always be here.

NYC has a responsibility to lead, gather, and support trans youth, standing as a beacon and safe haven where every young person is seen, protected, and empowered

Share widely, and tell your friends to RSVP too! We’ll see you there. 🏳️‍⚧️

Our Virtual Caregiver Group is for parents and guardians of transgender, non-binary, and gender expansive youth across the United States. Payment is on a sliding scale; no family will be turned away due to lack of funds.

Fees:
- Groups (monthly) $10-100 sliding scale based on household income
- Intakes (one-time) $10-150 sliding scale based on household income

Families who have attended GFP group or therapy session in the last 6 months do not have to take another intake. Families who have been active with GFP in the last 18 months receive a 50% discount on their intake fee. We will explain the sliding scale during your screening call and allow you to choose the level that works best for your family.
