“Decatur joins Atlanta, Doraville, Clarkston, Chamblee and Dunwoody as the only cities in Georgia with such protections. Five of those cities have adopted the policies in the past year. Decatur is the fifth city in DeKalb County to adopt such an ordinance.” November 21, 2019
Today is #transgenderdayofremembrance. Today is a day that we remember those folks and their names. Most of those who were lost were trans women of color. In support—and in honor of TDOR—PFLAG chapters across the country are sharing the names of the transgender and gender-expansive people in the United States whose lives were tragically taken by violence in 2019. As of November 20th, 29 transgender and gender-expansive people have been murdered, including one who was killed several years ago but was only identified this year. PFLAG’s renewed commitment to transgender and gender-expansive people was recently announced in a new policy statement decrying the epidemic of violence and discrimination against transgender people, especially Black transgender women, and recommitting to taking significant action in support of the trans community. “We must fight for non-violence and non-discrimination, strive to create an inclusive society, and continuously advocate for trans people of color in every aspect of their lives (i.e. health, work, relationships and home). We must seek accountability for those who do harm against trans women of color due to transphobia, racism, and misogyny. Let us all boldly show our love and support and give more attention to the leadership, wellness, and livelihood of those most impacted by this epidemic. If you have genuine love for all human beings, then you believe that all lives are precious and deserve the right to thrive in the world free from ignorance and intolerance.” – Marilyn Willis, a member of the PFLAG National Board of Directors. The PFLAG National Board of Directors policy statement on anti-transgender violence and discrimination can be found at pflag.org/policystatements. November 20, 2019

“The fast food chain announced Monday that beginning next year it will only donate to a certain group of charities. That list no longer includes the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). Both organizations have taken controversial stands on homosexuality and same-sex marriage.” November 18, 2019

GREAT NEWS! New Spanish-language publications now available The wait is over! After the success of Nuestros Seres Queridos Trans, our culturally inclusive Spanish-language translation of our Our Trans Loved Ones, we’re excited to announce that, thanks to the generosity of our friends at Subaru, we’ve released not one but THREE new publications. We are truly excited to provide these materials to our members and supporters, recognizing, of course, that translated materials are only one piece of the puzzle to support our chapters in becoming more diverse, more inclusive, more culturally humble…and more powerful as a network across the country. Visit pflag.org/publications to download your free copies; hard copies will be available for order at pflag.org/shop within the week. And thank you again to our friends at Subaru for their commitment to PFLAG’s vision of a world where diversity is celebrated and all people are respected, valued, and affirmed inclusive of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
