Trans Students Educational Resource (TSER)

TSER is a youth-led organization dedicated to transforming the educational environment for trans and gender-nonconforming students. They accomplish this through advocacy and empowerment. They also focus on creating a trans-friendly education system. Their mission is to educate the public and teach trans activists on how to be effective organizers. They believe justice for trans and gender-nonconforming youth is contingent on an intersectional framework of activism. Ending oppression is a long-term process achieved through collaborative action.

The SRLP works to guarantee all people are free to self-determine their gender identity and expression. This is regardless of income or race, and without facing harassment, discrimination, or violence. SRLP is a collective organization founded on the understanding that gender self-determination is inextricably intertwined with racial, social and economic justice. They seek to increase the political voice and visibility of low-income people and people of color who are transgender, intersex, or gender non-conforming. SRLP works to improve access to respectful and affirming social, health, and legal services for our communities. They believe that in order to create meaningful political participation and leadership, we must have access to basic means of survival and safety from violence.
