The organization worked in coalition to engage leaders from across the country to educate the public regarding its expansive vision and to build movement alignment. To protect youth, TLC has played a critical national support, coordination, and convening role, working with groups where the attacks against trans people are centered, especially in the South and the Midwest. TLC is collaborating with key partners in the South to center the leadership and expertise of Southern trans policy groups and advocates to build a shared strategy to counter the intensity of the backlash against trans people. 2417515 135905 BLACK LGBTQIA+ MIGRANT PROJECT: The Black LGBTQIA+ Migrant Project (BLMP) builds and centers the power of Black LGBTQIA+ migrants to ensure the liberation of all Black people through organizing and base-building, deportation defense, and strategic communications. BLMP uses leadership development, capacity building, and organizing to address the ways in which Black LGBTQIA+ migrants are criminalized by the legal and immigration systems and marginalized in the broader migrant community as well as in racial and economic justice movements 1928160 218284 LEGAL PROGRAM: TLC's legal program succeeded in a variety of efforts to pursue legal protections for trans people. This included class action suits to ensure proper treatment in prisons, challenging overreach by governmental entities acting against organizations that support trans individuals, and filing amicus briefs to ensure courts hear important arguments on behalf of trans people. The organization's free, national legal Helpdesk and its Prison Mail Program responded to thousands of requests. Further, TLC incubates projects providing legal and humanitarian assistance to individuals in need. 1452927 207000 BORDER BUTTERFLIES PROJECT 1192978 490000 NARRATIVE LAB 1187578 COMMUNICATIONS 815588 DISABILITY JUSTICE PROJECT 445004 POSITIVELY TRANS 327062 210168 TRUTH/GENDER JUSTICE LEADERSHIP PROJECT 108140 BLACK TRANS CIRCLES 5529277 907168 13340547 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false true true true false true true false false true true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 273 0 true 62 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 15 15 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA NY X X X Billie Chen 5105879696 PO Box 70976 Oakland CA 94612 Shelby Chestnut Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 224783 0 17672 Oluchi Omeoga BLMP Co- Director 40.00 0.00 X 181090 0 28664 Rose Berry BLMP Co- Director 40.00 0.00 X 167323 0 18557 Nolizwe Nondabula BLMP Co- Director 40.00 0.00 X 161840 0 22400 Bran Fenner Managing Director 40.00 0.00 X 147205 0 28782 Billie Chen FinanceOper Director 40.00 0.00 X 143384 0 30008 Lynly Egyes Legal Director 40.00 0.00 137604 0 30477 Emem Maurus Project Legal Dir. 40.00 0.00 128988 0 26905 Meera Vaidyanathan Development Dir. 40.00 0.00 135406 0 18786 Sue Yacka-Bible Dir Communications 40.00 0.00 125351 0 22328 Harry Itie BLMP Comm.
