Domestic violence, sexual assault, and dual coalitions are uniquely positioned to help member organizations provide effective services to transgender survivors, despite increase in anti-transgender rhetoric and discrimination in many places throughout the United States. This webinar, intended for staff, leadership, and board members of domestic violence, sexual assault, and dual coalitions, provides an overview of the rise of anti-transgender legislation and rhetoric in the last several years.
Participants will learn about the types of legislation, executive orders, and other actions affecting transgender survivors; how these actions affect LGBTQIA2S+ communities and the experiences of LGBTQIA2S+ survivors; and how they affect the work of both direct service providers and coalitions. Additionally, presenters discuss strategies for coalitions to support member organizations so that together they can effectively navigate serving transgender survivors in an increasingly hostile climate.

In this interactive workshop, we will look at the way that socialization around identity plays a role in how we make decisions and can unintentionally elevate or limit our own voices and choices as well as that of others based on this dynamic. We will lightly touch on themes of Healing Justice* through interruption of programming around choice – who is deserving of choice and who “needs saving.” This workshop considers the identities and lived experiences of those present as factors into the shaping of how we interact with each other, our colleagues, our clients, and communities.
*” Healing Justice is a framework that identifies how we can holistically respond to and intervene on intergenerational trauma and violence, and to bring collective practices that can impact and transform the consequences of oppression on our collective bodies, hearts, and minds.” – Cara Page, Kindred: Southern Healing Justice Collective
