Please feel free to distribute and use our policy as a resource. We hope that it will aid other organizations in developing their own policies.

Thanks goes out to the amazing volunteers, Collective members, staff, and Work-Study students who spent countless hours/months/years of work on the development of this policy, and for helping us take another step towards creating a more inclusive and socially just space for all.

MORE TO COME:

This policy party is simply one opportunity to celebrate trans inclusion, circulate the policy, solicit feedback and share in larger dialogues and participatory processes.

You can expect to see more linked events, community forums, and a more involved policy launch in the fall. Stay tuned & connected!
