Happy Women’s History Month from all of us at The Center! This month and every month, we are not just celebrating and remembering—we are resisting, because our history and our community’s history-makers are under attack. Transgender women, particularly Black and Brown trans women, face heightened risks of violence and systemic neglect, fueled by an administration that refuses to recognize their humanity. Join us at The Center in celebrating their legacy, and impact, and help us protect their future.
 

Update: Preliminary Injunction Filed in Lawsuit Against The Federal Government

The motion for a preliminary injunction is the latest update on our lawsuit against the Trump Administration. Together, we will ensure that every member of our community knows that they are seen, valued, and supported.

Lesbian Switchboard

The Lesbian Switchboard operated from 1972 to 1997 as a telephone service providing peer counseling, factual information and referrals to the general public and the lesbian community. The Switchboard’s goal was to provide information on a broad range of issues of concern to lesbians, and to function as an information clearinghouse about relevant organizations and events.
