Friday June 16: Trans Town Hall

5-9 pm (doors open at 4:30 pm)

The Renberg Theatre – The Village at Ed Gould Plaza. Overflow area available.

This year, Trans Pride LA has taken on a very specific urgency. With over 400 pieces of anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ legislation in our country, we are seeing a dramatic escalation of transphobic rhetoric—some of it calling for drastic measures, including the removal of children from their parents’ care, and the criminalization of transgender health care. Featuring appearances by Montana state Rep. Zooey Zephyr, Raquel Willis, Laith Ashley, and many more!

On the heels of the Center’s epic Easter Sunday Drag March demonstration, we are hosting the inaugural Trans Town Hall on the afternoon of June 16:

• Mixer and Welcome Reception – Enjoy refreshments before a slate of powerhouse panelists.
• Panel Conversations – Three hours of programming, where we engage national and local activists, the Center’s health providers and frontline staff, and nationally renowned transgender figures in conversations that tackle this crisis head-on.
• Dynamic Performances – Drag all-stars, choral ensembles and voguing legends to grace the stage!

Stay tuned as the full roster of participants and performers are announced by Friday, June 9!
