Take Action
The Center advocates for comprehensive healthcare and ending homelessness while fighting against anti-LGBTQ policies across the country. We do this by organizing grassroots community leaders (like yourself) to phone bank, canvass, and rally for affirming LGBTQ policies.
ACT NOW: California Has the Chance To Protect Trans Rights
At this dangerous moment when LGBTQ+ civil rights are under threat, it is more important than ever for California to proactively safeguard the privacy of transgender and non-binary people from those who seek to discriminate and perpetuate violence against them. The Center is proud to support a slate of legislation this year to expedite the process for and ensure the confidentiality of name and gender markers changes, as well as protect sensitive healthcare data for trans and non-binary patients and people seeking abortions.

ACT NOW: Support Pharmacy Benefits for Californians
To protect patients from abusive PBM practices by requiring licensure, banning spread pricing, mandating transparency, and allowing patients to choose their pharmacies.
ACT NOW: Tell the Assembly Health Committee Chair to Support PrEP Healthcare Coverage
To expand access to long-acting injectable PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis), offering more effective and accessible HIV prevention options through pharmacies and clinics.
ACT NOW: Support LGBTQ+ Students
AB 727 requires that student ID cards for students in grades 7-12 at a public or charter school, as well as students in higher education, include The Trevor Project’s 24/7 suicide hotline and text line.
LGBTQ+ students are at heightened risk of experiencing verbal, physical, and online harassment, which negatively affects their mental health and academic performance.
By expanding crisis hotline visibility and strengthening state-mandated support resources, AB 727 ensures that LGBTQ+ students have greater access to life-saving support systems and affirming educational environments.
Stop the Federal Attack on Trans Athletes!
School sports play a significant role in many young people’s learning and development, helping them to develop critical life skills such as communication, teamwork, and leadership. Participation in sports is also linked to better academic outcomes, improved confidence and self-esteem, and lower levels of stress and anxiety. Transgender girls, like all students, deserve the same opportunity to learn these valuable skills and build a sense of belonging with their peers.
In light of the trans sports ban in California, introduced by Assemblymember Kate Sanchez titled, “Protect Girls’ Sports Act,” we must ensure federal protection of transgender students’ right to participate in high school sports.
Protect LGBTQ+ Immigrants
Recent executive orders threaten the safety and rights of LGBTQ+ immigrants.
In just his first week, Trump’s administration has pushed for policies that will target LGBTQ+ immigrants, segregate individuals by sex in federal facilities, threaten resources like domestic violence shelter, schools, hospitals, and more by removing “sensitive zones” protected from deportation.
Send a message to your elected officials urging them to protect vulnerable communities and defend constitutional rights.
