Thanks to all who helped us kick off #PrideMonth at the annual Congressional Pride Reception! Special thanks to Democratic Leader @NancyPelosi and Rep. @RosLehtinen for proving that equality and human rights cross party lines. #RepresentationIsPower
Happy to have the opportunity because of @davidbohnettfdn and @victoryinstitute ! Let's uplift the lives of #trans people, our diverse lives and experiences, I'm passing the mic! https://t.co/aEdSydazad
There's many ways to help the trans community on a daily basis. "Talking about it with your colleagues, talking about it with your family" is a big way to support the community according to Brandon Studler.
That’s a wrap! Thank you @Sara_A_Garcia, @MaraKeisling, and @kkstud13 for joining us on the @LeslieMarshall show! To learn more about Sara’s racial gap report visit https://t.co/LmyTRHys1s. To get resources on supporting the trans community visit https://t.co/AWjLdfInIw
Brandon Studler is the only out trans person working on the Hill. "I come from a heavily military family" says Brandon. Adding that Trump's ban on trans people serving in the military is "an attack on military families"
Follow along live for another @LeslieMarshall takeover as we're joined by @Sara_A_Garcia to discuss racial gaps in college spending, and later joined by @TransEquality's ED @MaraKeisling and @VictoryFund's @kkstud13 to discuss Trump's trans military ban!

The best way society can honor the people we've lost to anti-trans violence is do better for the ones who are still here #tdor2017#WeExist#TransLivesMatter
