Happy Pride Month!
As attacks on trans rights continue, we’re saying it loud and clear: trans people will not be erased.
Not from our communities. Not from our history. Not from our future.

Asian American and Pacific Islander history is American history. It's as vast, diverse, and resilient as the communities who shape it.
We honor those who came before us and those still pushing for justice, equity, and dignity for all.

🧵New Michigan bills would harm trans kids. Full stop.
HB 4066 and 4469 aim to ban transgender students from school sports. Not only is that discriminatory—it’s dangerous.

Despite devoting considerable time and energy to the effort to reach a verdict in the killing of Patrick Lyoya by former Grand Rapids police officer Christopher Schurr, the jury was unable to do so.
The mistrial leaves continued pain and uncertainty in our community.

Not only is this proposed legislation dangerous and divisive, it is also discriminatory as it violates the Michigan Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act, which explicitly protects people from gender discrimination, including transgender people.
