Legal challenges and tyrannies are halting the lives and well-being of the transgender community in their tracks.
Join us in a letter writing to campaign at the greenwood mall food court so we can challenge all discriminatory practices, walls and hurdles placed in front of a disenfranchised group.
Six points to be hit on:
1. Ending legal hurdles that inhibit transgender people from getting their legal name and gender changed- transgender residents in Indiana are required to get their name changed published in a newspaper which is a process that costs hundreds of dollars.
2. Free or more affordable HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) and Sexual Reassignment Surgery provided to the transgender community- transgender people should not have to wait months to years for something so desperately needed for their well-being.
3. Ending all transphobia in the criminal justice system- transgender woman should not be sent to men’s prisons and no one should legally be allowed to claim that a crime was justified because the victim of it was transgender.
4. The promotion of government uplift programs that help lift transgender people up from poverty and general economic suffering- the transgender community faces a high amount of poverty, unemployment and homelessness because of their gender identity.
5. The legal recognition and affirmation of non-binary identities- it must be made clear to policy makers that there are identities beyond “man” and “woman”.
6. Transgender affirmation in all K-12 educational establishments- have all curriculum, policies and staff in schools no matter public or private be safe for transgender youth.
The targets of our letters:
1. Indiana State Senate.
2. Indiana House of Representatives.
3. Indianapolis City Council.
4. Indiana's representatives in both US senate and congress.
Let our voices be heard and progress be made!
More information will be made available about this event as more details are worked out.
