Reimagining safety for LGB/TGNC+ folks who use drugs and do sex work. Collectively creating/decentralizing care practices and transforming resources.

(1/3) Until s*x workers are safe, none of us are safe.

Tomorrow on #D17, International Day to End Violence Against S*x Workers, we honor the workers we've lost to violence and stand firm in our commitment to decriminalization.

(1/7) S*x Worker Pride celebrates six years of saying: s*x workers are brilliant, powerful, and tired of your respectability politics.

[NYS Assemblymember Gabriella A. Romero @AMRomero109]

Earlier this year, I introduced A.8191/S.7985 alongside @SenGonzalezNY, a bill that would allow New York State to establish a continuation-of-care program for people who rely on gender-affirming care. Once this program is created, it would identify providers and offer them funding and resources to support their mission. Now more than ever, this legislation is essential to ensuring that everyone receiving life-saving treatment can continue to access it.

Recently, @NewYorkStateAG Letitia James joined several other states in a lawsuit against the Trump administration, as hospitals and healthcare providers begin to cut gender-affirming care. I applaud the Attorney General’s efforts to stand up for our most vulnerable communities here in New York State, as we all continue to lead in ensuring access to essential healthcare for all. This bill will save lives, and I look forward to advancing it further in 2026.

Trump's order calls for arrest/forced treatment to "end vagrancy" in the name of "public safety"—and bans SAMHSA funding for harm reduction.

"We condemn it," Laura Guzman of @HarmReduction tells @TanaGaneva. “Safety for whom? It’s sick."

🧵NHRC's Executive Director Laura Guzman told @Filtermag_org, “It’s perpetuating the criminalization of people despite the lack of shelter and housing, which are the true ways to end homelessness. This ordinance.. it makes people sicker and some will die.”

Trans ppl in NY are under attack — not just nationally, but right here at home.
We’re calling on Democratic leaders to back up their pro-trans rhetoric with action by passing the GIRDS Act (S.1049 / A.5478) this session.
