LOS ANGELES, March 17, 2025—The Los Angeles LGBT Center, in partnership with TransLatin@ Coalition, Equality California, and Advocates for Trans Equality, will host Trans Liberation Now!, a large-scale rally at the Anita May Rosenstein Campus in Hollywood on Saturday, April 5, 2025 from 10AM–1PM to celebrate, empower, and advocate for transgender visibility and liberation.
The event will take place at The Village at Ed Gould Plaza, located on campus, and will serve as both a local action and a catalyst for a nationwide movement, inviting peer organizations around the country to host parallel events in solidarity.
Through powerful speakers and urgent calls to action, this event aims to mobilize communities, challenge anti-trans legislation, and reaffirm the rights and dignity of transgender, nonbinary, intersex and non-conforming (TGNBI+) individuals everywhere. Attendees will also be able to connect onsite with local organizations offering advocacy tools, health and social services via its TGNBI+ Resource Fair.
Los Angeles LGBT Center CEO Joe Hollendoner said, “The Los Angeles LGBT Center is proud to stand with our trans community in demanding nothing less than justice, protection, and full equality. At a moment when the political scapegoating and legislative attacks against transgender people have reached the highest levels of government, we refuse to be silent. Trans Liberation Now! is a call to arms—a declaration that we will fight for the rights, dignity, and very existence of TGNBI+ people.”
Currently, more than 700 bills that would negatively impact TGNBI+ people are under consideration in statehouses across the country, and this number is only expected to grow in the coming months. In response to the Trump administration’s aggressive rhetoric and heightened legislative attacks on the TGNBI+ community, Trans Liberation Now! will carve a space dedicated for community engagement and tangible call-to-action by:
- Empowering trans voices and visibility
- Mobilizing communities to protect trans rights
- Standing in solidarity for trans liberation
- Combating anti-trans policies and support protective legislation
