The History of Trans rights Laws and Policies [Live Recording]
In the past few years, we have seen a HUGE increase in the number of laws, in several states, that directly impact the Trans and nonbinary community. How did we get here and how can we show support?
Please join the IEES, CSD, and the FreeState Justice organization as we dive in a conversation that will cover history, culture, political discourse, and legislative impact these laws have had on Transgender people. FreeState Justice is a legal advocacy organization that seeks to improve the lives of low-income lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (“LGBTQ”) Marylanders. Despite recent, incremental judicial victories for the national LGBTQ community, the low-income LGBTQ population continues to struggle with legal challenges such harassment, complex family law issues, and anti-LGBTQ discrimination in employment, housing, foster care, healthcare and public accommodations. In addition to needing attorneys with specific knowledge of how the law affects LGBTQ citizens, LGBTQ clients need attorneys who will treat them with respect and understanding. FreeState’s mission is to combine direct legal services with education and outreach to ensure that the low-income LGBTQ community Maryland receives fair treatment in the law and society.”
