The Center has joined eight other LGBTQ+, health, and HIV organizations in suing the Trump Administration challenging recent Executive Orders that seek to dehumanize and erase transgender people and defund The Center and other organizations that serve them.
Update: The motion for a preliminary injunction is the latest update on our lawsuit against the Trump Administration. Together, we will ensure that every member of our community knows that they are seen, valued, and supported. Read the full declaration below.
Filed by Lambda Legal, the lawsuit challenges three executive orders that seek to erase transgender people from public life, terminate equity-related grants, and forbid federally-funded entities from engaging in diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility programs or from recognizing the existence of transgender people.
We joined this lawsuit because we have a responsibility to ensure that all LGBTQ+ people, including transgender people, people of color, and people living with or at risk for HIV & AIDS can live healthy and successful lives without fear or limitation. These executive orders threaten the vital services we provide to one of the nation’s largest and most diverse LGBTQ+ communities and are an affront to us all.
The Center has always fought back against injustice. We fought back at the height of the AIDS epidemic, when silence meant death. We fought back against laws that sought to criminalize our existence. And today, we are fighting back again.
Your voice and support are more important than ever. Please follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to spread the word about our work and inspire others to help. If you’re able, donate today to ensure our programs and services remain accessible for all LGBTQ+ New Yorkers.
We are proud to stand with Lambda Legal and our fellow plaintiffs in this case. Together, we will ensure that every member of our community knows that they are seen, valued, and supported.
