As a program, we stand with NASP and TASP in advocating for the protection, privacy, and safety of our transgender and gender diverse students.

In light of recent legislative efforts and executive actions in states across the country that seek to discourage, criminalize, and endanger transgender and gender diverse students, as well as those threatening parents and educators who attempt to support and protect students' privacy and safety.
