VISION

A safe, prosperous, and healthy community for Transgender diverse individuals and their allies in Southern California!

VALUES

Transgender people can be heterosexual, lesbian, gay, bisexual, intersex, asexual, etc. We serve the largest spectrum of people with this organization. Creating a local environment that nurtures an individual’s ability to live authentically is one of this organization’s prime objectives. We believe that the people we serve are entitled to the freedom to live how they want to live – self-defined and self-determined – and our ultimate goal is to create an environment that engages the public to support the transgender movement.

EQUALITY

Those who often live outside the binary world pay a physical, emotional, and economic toll on their constitutional rights and well-being. We create environments that nurture those by opening doors to services and accommodations that equally accommodate all. We pay close attention to government policies, health care, prisons, youth, mental health, and other agencies to ensure that there are adequate building blocks for transgender people to live authentically and find and define their own right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

ADVOCACY

We are a strong believer in advocacy and stand up for those who need a voice and often become the buffer to protecting them from retaliation. We work closely to address issues and change laws to ensure that all people can have dignity and respect. We are sometimes the advocacy that is not pleasant to the ear but is needed to motivate change based on truth. Not only are we a trusted ally for constituents, but also for those who need assistance while bringing up issues that need change.
