funds to support the projects fight for gender self-
determination.

The Sylvia Rivera Law Project (SRLP) provides free
legal services to low-income transgender
communities and transgender communities of
color. They also educate the public about trans
oppression and support community organizing
work that fights for the rights of their community.
SRLP has assisted over 350 clients facing violence
and discrimination in prisons, juvenile justice
facilities, shelters, educational institutions and at
the hands of the police since its inception in 2003.
SRLP trains judges, health professionals, and
other community organizations on how to provide
respectful and affirming services. The most

amount community members who are unable to
access the most basic of services to meet the

and education) because of rampant discrimination
and violence.
