Our nonprofit combines organizing with practical support for transgender folk in Louisiana, recognizing the intersecting challenges they face. TIP provides wrap-around practical support to combat the discrimination we face on a daily basis. These elements create a holistic approach to supporting and promoting resilience, dignity, and agency within the transgender community.

We were formed to provide practical support for trans people in Louisiana since many of the other organizations focus on state-level policy issues and less on day-to-day life. Moreover, the shift in political climate and the increasing number of codified laws criminalizing every aspect of trans life demanded we look away from policy and toward basic bread-and-butter solutions. So, we provide cash assistance and community support groups, partner on public health interventions, and promote city-level policy that will directly better the lives of trans folk here.
