We are proud to be part of a union of thousands of legal advocates and attorneys who understand that a threat to one is a threat to all.

As the federal government is restricting trans people’s ability to travel & immigrate, targeting trans people in custody, & increasing its surveillance & criminalization, it’s important to recognize that fights for trans liberation, immigrants’ rights, & Palestinian freedom are inextricably linked.

Consistent with our past statements, our union remains steadfast in our commitment to Palestinian freedom. we continue to be disappointed by our organization’s silence, which has negatively impacted partnerships in our work.

Yeah, we heard and felt heartbroken about it. We wanted to mention that in our statement, but it didn't seem like public news yet, and we didn't want to wait to release this statement.

We heard it’s a pretty high number of layoffs.

If you truly believe in protecting trans lives, open your wallets. Donate to A4TE & other trans-led organizations. This movement is under attack—but together, we can ensure it remains strong. #UnionStrong #TransRightsAreLaborRights (10/10)

To our cis allies & comrades: We need more than words. Donate, volunteer, and engage with trans-led orgs. Celebrities spoke up at the Grammys, and we’re grateful—but words alone won’t sustain this movement. (9/10)

If you are a movement worker facing a layoff, please contact us at ulw4tl@gmail.com. We will do our best to share leads & connect impacted workers with new opportunities. We can’t promise help for everyone, but we will try. (8/10)

Our union contract at A4TE has expanded access to gender-affirming care, fertility services, & reproductive care. By unionizing, we make it clear: trans rights & reproductive rights are labor rights. This is our power. (7/10)

We must send a clear message: unionization is our shield. It ensures workers have a voice in decisions affecting their lives & livelihoods. Movement workers across organizations must unionize & fight for fair, just workplaces. (6/10)

By contrast, we appreciate that A4TE, a trans-centered org, has worked to reduce costs without layoffs. These conversations matter. Leadership’s commitment to workers is crucial in the fight against this anti-trans regime. (5/10)

These layoffs were not the only option. They were not the most responsible option. Leadership decisions should center worker protections, not executive comfort. (4/10)

The justification for these layoffs at HRC demands scrutiny. Their payroll is $21.5M for 300 staff, yet 18 executives take home $5.19M—nearly 25% of all salaries. Even modest pay cuts at the top could have saved many jobs. (3/10)

This is a stark reminder of the uncertainty & cruelty we face under this administration. Funding & sustainability are crucial to keeping our communities safe. Organizations must prioritize protecting workers—not padding executive salaries. (2/10)

Give him a block, and then block his followers too!

Jeremy Peters is not the guy you should be trusting with interviews. He's a snake and an activist working against your org.

It is notable that the NYT is repeatedly accused of taking words out of context to create the most anti-trans narrative imaginable. For reference, this is the way Heng-Lehtinen's words were presented in the NYT story.

If this is truly as blatantly out of context, the NYT should be ashamed.
