Trans formative Schools

🏳️‍⚧️✨MARCH WITH US AT NYC PRIDE!

For the past three years, Trans formative Schools has been proud to call home. There, we’ve built an afterschool community rooted in joy, creativity, care, and celebration for trans, nonbinary, gender-expansive, and q***r youth.

Last year, we had the incredible honor of serving as Grand Marshals in the NYC Pride Parade, and this year we’re excited to march alongside the community that has supported and celebrated us over these past three years.

As we head into summer break, we’re excited to celebrate with you this June and already looking forward to returning to afterschool in the fall, where the joy, learning, and fun will continue!

🗓️Join us on Sunday, June 28th for a day of celebration, connection, and Pride! Bring your family, friends, and chosen family. All are welcome.

New York, our communities deserve more than survival. ✊🏽🏳️‍⚧️🔥

For too long, trans, q***r, immigrant, Black, Brown, and low-income communities have been expected to survive without meaningful investment. We are done settling for symbolic support while our communities face barriers to housing, healthcare, legal services, safety, and economic stability.

We are building power, and we are making our demands clear.

We need a $38.5M investment added to the NYC budget across five critical funding priorities to close gaps in care, housing, legal support, and community infrastructure for LGBTQIA+ New Yorkers.

Because our communities should not have to choose between surviving and thriving.

These are our demands:

💰 $10M for the Trans Equity Initiative
🏛️ $4M Investment from the Mayor to support TGNCNB communities
💜 $15M for Gender-Affirming Care for Youth
⚖️ $15M for People Involved in the S*x Trade Fund
📢 $15M annually for a new LGBTQIA+ Immigrant Legal Services Fund

These are not luxuries they are lifelines.

We are done fighting for scraps. New York must invest in the people who make this city vibrant, resilient, and alive.

We deserve budgets that reflect our humanity, our resilience, and our right to thrive.

Show up. Speak out. Fight for our communities. ✊🏽🏳️‍⚧️💜

Join us as we rally to demand real investment in TGNCNB New Yorkers because our communities deserve more than visibility, we deserve resources, care, and protection.

On Wednesday, City Council is holding a hearing about bills introduced by the new Education Committee Chair Eric Dinowitz and the new Speaker Julie Menin.

These bills would require the NYPD to create “buffer zones” surrounding educational facilities (Think: schools, afterschools, CEC Meetings, DOE Headquarters) as well as places of worship in order to prevent “gatherings.”

If passed, this would require the NYPD to make a plan to shut down any kind of gathering or protest within 100 feet of a school or religious institution. (Imagine: no bake sales, no vigils, no games of frisbee, no dancing, no student walkouts against gun violence, no readings of banned books, no nurses or teacher strikes for livable wages.)

These bills would also give the NYPD the power to shut down any kind of gathering outside of a teaching hospital. (Consider: No singing broadway tunes outside of NYU and Mt. Sinai demanding that our youth have access to lifesaving healthcare.)

While there is an aspiring dictator in the White House and ICE patrols our streets, the last thing our youth need is to have yet ANOTHER interaction with the carceral system on their way to and from school. NYC already spends ~$750 million of our tax dollars—money budgeted for education—to pay over 5000 state agents to surveil our children at school.

Eric and Julie say that they are trying to “stop anti-semitism.”

Tell us in the comments: What do you see Eric and Julie ACTUALLY doing?

🤍 Miss Major, your legacy lives on in every act of resistance, every safe space created, and every trans life fiercely protected.

Thank you for being the mother to generations of trans women, especially Black and brown folks.

We honor you. We thank you. We carry your fight forward.

Children should never be used as political tools. They deserve inclusive, safe, and respectful learning environments where they can belong, grow, and thrive. Using financial resources meant for our children and their education as leverage to promote hate in our schools is unconscionable and cruel.

We reject the Trump Administration’s thinly veiled attempts to divide us, to use a manufactured panic to strip funding from public schools, and to harm all of New York City’s children.

We dream of and have worked for decades towards a New York City public school system where every student – regardless of race, gender, income, ability, or immigration status – can learn and thrive. This means no more underfunded classrooms, no more discriminatory policies, and no more neglect.

Join a growing coalition of students, families, educators and community members and demand equity, dignity, and the well-being of all students. (Link in bio.)

When we work together, our people power is unstoppable.

See you on Tuesday at 10 AM on the steps of the Department of Education Headquarters.
