The TransLatin@ Coalition held its inaugural Walk4Humanity to raise funding that the president has cut during his ongoing anti-trans crusade. The result was a community triumph.

When President Donald Trump entered his second term and declared another war on LGBTQ+ rights in America, the blowback was felt almost immediately.

At the top of the year, Trump spent his first 24 hours in office firing off a blitz of executive actions impacting marginalized communities, some orders including direct attacks on immigration, diversity, equity and inclusion practices and trans rights nationwide as part of his promised right-wing 2.0 agenda.
