Aug 10: Unite for Trans Youth Lives

From hospitals cutting off gender-affirming care to federal rollbacks of emergency mental health services, to the increased criminalization of the unhoused, transgender youth are being stripped of the right to exist, thrive, and access life-saving health care across the nation and even right here in Chicago.

Illinois is a sanctuary state for transgender rights — yet major institutions are walking back care and leaving families in crisis.

BIPOC trans young people experience disproportionately high rates of homelessness and attacks against the unhoused are being amplified on the national level. 

This is a state of emergency for transgender youth and we are fighting back against these attacks on gender affirming medical and mental health services.

This is a call to action. Show up. Speak out. Fight for trans futures!

Join us on August 10th to demand:

• Immediate restoration + expansion of gender-affirming care

• Protection of 988 LGBTQ+ crisis services & The Trevor Project contract

• Funding for safe, low-barrier housing programs for trans young people

When: Sunday, Aug 10 at 1pm
Where: Federal Plaza in downtown Chicago (map)
