Current U.S. policies are rolling back protections for transgender people, with bans on gender-affirming care, restrictions on identification, and limits on military service. States remain divided: Colorado expands protections, while Texas, Ohio, and Kentucky enact restrictive laws on healthcare, bathrooms, and legal recognition. What does the future hold for trans communities, and how can they be supported within a human rights framework? How do we build communities where everyone is seen, valued, and celebrated? Join us for an inspiring conversation with Mx Yaffa—an acclaimed disabled, autistic, trans, queer, Muslim, and Indigenous Palestinian activist recognized for transformative work on displacement, decolonization, and equity. Mx Yaffa will share how trans communities are building sustainable organizations, creating mutual aid networks, and developing leadership pipelines to ensure lasting impact. This talk highlights the creativity, resilience, and brilliance of trans-led activism while offering actionable insights for an equitable future. Queerled. Community-centered. Future-focused.
