All proceeds benefit Sylvia Rivera Law Project! SRLP provides free legal services for low-income people and people of color who are transgender, intersex, or gender non-conforming, while maintaining a commitment to leadership development, public education, and community organizing. We are collectively-run, by and for the community. We provide crucial services with inspiring creativity and political analysis.
This past year, we provided direct legal services to over 250 clients. That means support for hundreds of people in New York fighting against discrimination and abuse in prisons, group homes, homeless shelters, and drug treatment centers; clients getting name changes and gender changes on ID, getting benefits re-instated, and dealing with immigration issues. Since our founding in 2002, we have worked with over 1,250 clients, and have provided referrals and resources to so many more.
