DESCRIPTION: The trans and non-binary community is a resilient community that has been shaped by surviving societal antagonism. Yet today, this community is in the crosshairs of a nationwide assault on bodily autonomy, efforts to make ours a more diverse and inclusive society, and challenges to freedom of expression. The last few years of backlash have marked the most challenging time in the lives of many young trans people.Please come learn what you can do to help.\n\nAs of February 22, there are over 450 anti-LGBTQ bills traveling through statehouses and our national legislatures, with many targeting trans youth. In the third year of unprecedented assaults on trans youth, and in recognition of Transgender Day of Visibility on March 31, the Bay Area Lawyer Chapter of the American Constitution Society, Bay Area Lawyers for Individual Freedom, and the Minority Bar Coalition will host an evening of advocacy and action for our community on March 14.\nThe panel will focus on three topics:\n\nEfforts to eliminate education and public discourse on LGBTQ+ topics;\nEfforts to make it more difficult for trans people to exist safely in public; and\nChallenges and barriers trans people face in accessing healthcare, whether gender-affirming or otherwise.\n\nThe discussion will address both challenges faced in California and nationally. We will end with a community discussion about what we can do to support the trans community and oppose laws and policies that target their well being.\nModerator:\nRafael Langer-Osuna, Esq. (they/them), Partner, Squire Patton Boggs; Co-Chair of the National Trans Bar Association and Co-Chair of the Bay Area Lawyers for Individual Freedom.\n\nPanelists:\nKhilynn Fowler (she/her), Manager of Community Engagement, Office of Transgender Initiatives, City and County of San Francisco\nZephyr Eslick-Persyn (he/him), High School Student and Activist\nTheo Halladay (he/him), High School Student and Activist\n\nFor details, click here: https://getinvolved.acslaw.org/component/events/event/1488
