Today. Every day. The fight is never over.

Transgender people know who we are, and no Court or politician can take that from us. We will outlive this.
A message from Louis Staples that reads: "Strangely, it's moments like this that I feel most lucky to be queer. I think about our elders. How hopeless they must have felt. How easy it would have been to give up. But they fought for the life I get to live today. What an insult it would be, to them, to succumb to despair."

Our new 2-page factsheet offers a big picture overview of the key system failures that make it difficult for many people--across race, age, gender identity, class, ability, and other backgrounds--to get or maintain accurate ID. It also shows the harms caused by these failures, and more.
Page 1 of a 2-page infographic titled The ID Divide: How Obstacles to Identity Documents Impact Us All. It summarizes five key system failures that make it difficult to get or maintain accurate ID, and the many harms caused by these obstacles, such as difficulty securing basic needs or participating in civic life. Page 2 of a 2-page infographic about identity documents. It presents statistics on who in the U.S. lacks access to birth certificates and driver's licenses; argues for the importance of ID access for all; and offers a list of many different reasons why people may need to update their ID.

The CDC website for the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) has suddenly disappeared. YRBS provides invaluable youth health data, including for LGBTQ youth.

Trump admin is trying to enact harmful policy AND take away key tools to measure that harm. Like a crime + cover-up.

Screenshot of the CDC's page for YRBS, showing that "The page you're looking for was not found." Screenshot as of 8:30am CT, 1/31/25.

Even despite this nationalization of politics & the impacts & information available through social media, states w/ good policies STILL see better outcomes for their young people. That good policies can provide not only for a lack of bad outcomes, but an actual protective effect against them. (7/8)
A blue-green square background with the logos for MAP and the Trevor Project. The text reads "LGBTQ+ young people living in states with a higher LGBTQ+ policy index reported lower odds of recent politics negatively impacting their well-being, compared to those living in states with a lower LGBTQ+ policy index."
