In December 2018, TLC announced litigation against ICE for the wrongful death of Roxsana Hernandez, an HIV+ transgender woman, in immigration detention in New Mexico. This litigation could change the landscape for transgender people in detention. We put ICE on notice that we are watching them and that they need to make sure that what happen to Roxsana does not happen to anyone else. Her case has received widespread media coverage. Our representation of trans immigrants who are victims of human trafficking has generated novel legal strategies and established a precedent that affects ALL immigrants and expands the ability for people with serious criminal convictions related to being trafficked to obtain asylum. In our efforts to end abuses of TGNC immigrants in ICE detention, we have met with detainees at 5 facilities. Also in December 2018, TLC learned that three trans women living with HIV in the most recent caravan at the border were very ill. Due to our past experiences working with immigrants in the two previous caravans, we decided that it was essential to go to the border and help them enter the United States. Once at the border, we arranged for medical examinations and affidavits for each woman and prepared parole applications. Each parole application was over 175 pages. We then reached out to contacts in the government and arranged for the women to enter through a port of entry. Our Legal Helpline and Prison Mail program responded to more than 1,840 requests. Examples of somewhat more involved legal advocacy that has resulted from initial Helpline contact included: Helping a black transgender woman who experienced discrimination while trying to use a bathroom at a fast-food restaurant. We are assisting her in drafting her incident report for a Department of Fair Employment & Housing complaint and providing know your rights and self-help information for the complaint process; supporting two sets of California parents who selected "nonbinary" and "-" on newborn birth certificates, and are being denied social security numbers for their children because the birth certificate does not have an M/F marker. In the early stages of determining an advocacy plan for a workaround; working on an advocacy letter in support of a transgender woman who experienced discrimination while in a coma due to complications in dialysis treatment in a hospital. We are also pursuing collaboration in disseminating information on advance directives for transgender individuals. 793254 Movement Building- Our National Training Institute (NTI) conducted five trainings: in New Orleans engaging 12 Black trans women, designed to empower trans women to respond to the disproportionate threat and reality of violence in their lives. It led to the launch of our Black Trans Circles project; in Nashville, reaching 20 TGNC Southern leaders; as part of our TRUTH project, for 15 youth leaders; for 120+ trans & queer migrants to begin creating long term campaign plans and coalition building that center trans migrants and in Houston, for an array of TGNC activists from across the country to develop a forward-looking national policy agenda driven by community needs. 546171 30000 Positively Trans- Positively Trans (T+) successfully shifted its leadership efforts from its more narrowly focused National Advisory Board Model to a larger national network of TGNC people affected by HIV. Our close partnership with activists in three communities--South Florida, Detroit, and New Orleans--resulted in the successful completion of a local needs assessment in each community, with significant local leadership development efforts. Data is being analyzed, and will support advocacy for improved services and resources to address the epidemic among TGNC people in these communities. T+ launched the #ACApositive social media campaign in April 2018 to make visible the importance of the Affordable Care Act for people living with HIV. T+ worked collaboratively with other groups to develop a framework for trans-inclusive reproductive justice, and presented actively on its work and programs at major national and international conferences, including sharing its growing bank of digital stories. 1178087 97400 91096 3673960 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false false false false false true true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 35 0 true 32 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 13 13 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X Billy Chen 5105879696 PO Box 70976 Oakland CA 94612 Min Matson Board Chair Director 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Melanie RowenBoard Vice Ch Director 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Alan Francisco-Tipgos Treas Director 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Evelyn Rios Secretary Director 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Brielle Darynn Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mat dos Santos Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chinyere Ezie Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bishop Tonyia Rawls Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Theresa Witherspoon Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bobbi Dalley Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Morgan Darby Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Trystan Reese Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Louis Porter II Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Billy Chen FinanceOper Director 40.00 0.00 X 71729 0 12105 Kris Hayashi Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 100751 0 11829 Isa Noyola Deputy Director 40.00 0.00 X 103041 0 12857 275521 36791 2 false false false 0 82982 4947397 319766 5030379 Contract revenue 900099 58808 58808 Program revenue 900099 125425 125425 184233 41147 41147 0 0 72871 72871 72871 72871 0 11540 82982 56994 -45454 -45454 0 0 Miscellaneous 900099 3093 3093 3093 5286269 257104 -1214 97400 97400 0 0 0 189413 71616 82329 35468 0 1705528 1438453 74995 192080 0 210517 175832 10499 24186 147952 118362 11836 17754 0 132305 102266 27220 2819 41113 41113 0 45544 45544 0 347835 283477 26155 38203 118687 97706 20981 77803 69111 1751 6941 88268 70663 5695 11910 0 399500 319600 31960 47940 653962 628636 7641 17685 0 111768 91873 9884 10011 0 0 13567 10854 1085 1628 23884 19117 1907 2860 Miscellaneous 46059 34776 3782 7501 Bank fees 24377 560 5694 18123 Staff/Volunteer development 20604 15992 3210 1402 Client costs 14351 14373 -9 -13 13627 13293 254 80 4524064 3673960 347001 503103 559768 1154392 0 674375 1009169 29685 45972 0 0 0 0 174182 155041 71994 55476 25815 16518 2065585 2130748 0 0 0 0 3529410 4511840 298256 520175 13557 14119 83167 76617 394980 610911 X 850925 1035979 2283505 2864950 3134430 3900929 3529410 4511840 762205 4294 X false true X true false X 1639654 2411801 2888498 4845084 5030379 16815416 0 0 1639654 2411801 2888498 4845084 5030379 16815416 3282704 13532712 19606 22460 23364 24271 41147 130848 0 898 3204 12171 13474 3093 32840 16979104 695942 0.79700 0.77540 X Support Schedule: Other Income Explanation From time to time, miscellaneous funds are received during the course of performing the organization's tax-exempt function.

X 9229 319766 FMV false false false Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: TRUTH Program: TRUTH, our TGNC youth leadership program in collaboration with GSA Network, debuted its new, larger national youth leadership council model, with 27 youth leaders who support their peers and conduct social media campaigns for respect and equity. Over the summer of 2018, we held regional gatherings in Atlanta for the Southeastern youth council members; in Chicago for the Northeastern and Midwestern members; and at our Oakland headquarters for Western and Southwestern members. The full national group was brought together subsequently in Utah at GSA Network's National Gathering, and we later convened 16 TRUTH Council members for continued in-depth training in Michigan in conjunction with TLC's National Training Institute in September. This intense investment in these young people has helped to create and sustain TRUTH as a vibrant network of trans youth across the country. TRUTH's priority campaign this year was the GSA Day 4 Gender Justice where the TRUTH Council released their TRUTH Nine Point Manifesto (https://ourtranstruth.org/truth-nine-point-manifesto/). It includes political education around various social movements and their intersections with gender justice, and has been supported by social media outreach. TRUTH was also able to have rapid response to the memo leak with this petition and call to action: https://unite.gsanetwork.org/petitions/show-up-for-trans-people-and-against-the-memo. TRUTH supports youth in multiple ways--from campaign development and skill building to basic needs. While some youth have supportive family and communities, others are also struggling with family rejection and homelessness. The TRUTH Council has been successful in creating a supportive environment where youth feel safe being vulnerable, as well as the capacity to connect youth to immediate and tangible resources as needed. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: TLC@SONG: We are completing our analysis of our groundbreaking Grapevine survey of TGNC needs in the South, and we continued to invest deeply in leadership development in the region. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Black LGBTQIA+ Migrant Project (BLMP): In New York, BLMP hosted a gathering that brought together over 30 community members, laying the groundwork for a NYC network that would be a resource and political home to community members based in the area. BLMP also hosted a Southern BLMP convening in Atlanta, Georgia and over 60 Black LGBTQI+ migrants convened to discuss the needs of their community and build with each other. With TLC, we co-planned and co-led the national #AbolishICE convening Albuquerque which brought 100 LGBTQ+ migrants, mostly people of color, together for 3 days of community building. On the 3rd day we shut down a major intersection for 3 hours to draw attention to the death of Roxsana in ICE custody as well as the continued detainment of Udoka Nweke and other LGBTQ+ migrants. BLMP led workshops at the BYP 100 Convening, the Allied Media and Money for Our Movement conferences on BLMP?s work and the experiences of the broader community; met with LGBTQ groups in Lagos and Abuja (Nigeria) including The Initiative for Equal Rights and W.H.E.R. to learn about the political landscape, introduce BLMP, and talk about US immigration issues; and led a workshop and participated in a story-telling event at the Soros Justice Conference. We took part in the Movement for Black Lives policy retreat and co-authored the Migrant Justice policy paper that will serve as the policy backbone for M4BL?s work. We were invited and attended CINEBEH, the largest LGBT conference in Brazil and keynoted the conference where we spoke about the realities for Black LGBTQ+ migrants in the US. In response to the intensified targeting of LGBTQ+ people in Tanzania, we held a protest at the Tanzanian embassy in DC. We led a number of conversations, workshops and trainings including at Mijente?s Lanzate, its annual membership meeting, SONG?s Bayard Rustin convening, the National Immigration Integration Conference, etc. We are thrilled to report that Udoka Nweke, a Black gay migrant whom we?d been fighting to get out of detention for much of the past year was released on parole. We have begun the process of getting him settled in new location and raising funds he can live on while awaiting his work permit. We have also been assisting a 52-year-old Jamaican trans woman detained at Cibola Detention Center in New Mexico, connecting her with an attorney and raising funds to cover key costs for her. We are also supporting the cases of detainees from Cameroon and Angola held at Adelanto Detention Center. We started providing post-release support for a member of the previous LGBT caravan, a Garifuna Honduran trans woman who traveled with the late Roxsana Hernandez and was locked up in Cibola along with her when she passed. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: Other Programs: Besides our general programs, communications and policy advocacy work, we want to highlight the following: Black Trans Circles (BTC) Program: Black Trans Circles (BTC) is new program created by Raquel Willis, funded by a Soros Equality Fellowship and hosted by Transgender Law Center. BTC is building the leadership of Black trans women in the South and Midwest to create community solutions for prevention, healing, and resilience in response to violence. In March 2018, BTC launched with a pilot convening in New Orleans, LA. Over the course of two days, nine Black trans women from the local area were gathered to discuss their experiences, how violence has impacted their communities and how to move forward with strategies of transformation. Healthcare Access: In health-related advocacy, we partnered with the National Center for Transgender Equality to prepare to defend the ACA?s nondiscrimination provisions from threats signaled by the Administration. We also continued litigation (with co-counsel) against Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego. TLC's legal challenge to the Veterans Health Administration?s sexual reassignment surgery exclusion resulted in a VA call for public comments on making SRS available to veterans. TLC submitted extensive comments.
