Building a Trans Movement: Overview of Trans Advocacy Organizations &

Survey of Transgender Specific Advocacy, Political, Legal programs

I am collecting information about trans advocacy groups and projects
from around the country for an info guide for a day-long institute at
Creating Change about building up the trans movement and sharing
resources, organizational structures, and developing leadership. I
will be sharing the info with all who contribute regardless if you
attend the workshop or not.

Organization/Group or Project and would like to get surveys back by
Jan 15, 2010. Also if you know of other groups around the country that
fit the description please forward the link.

More information:
At this year's Creating Change
(http://www.thetaskforce.org/events/creating_change) in Dallas
February 3-
February 7, 2010 there will be an all-day institute on February 4th
titled TRANS RIGHTS NOW: Building a Strong Transgender Movement

Description of the Institute (working description):
A successful movement depends on dedicated and empowered activists
working in strong organizations at all levels, from the local to the
national. The trans/allied movement needs people working in rural and
urban areas, in formal organizations and in informal groups -- we need
the support of everyone from political organizations in Boston to
support groups in rural Kansas to Facebook groups.

As part of this institute we would like to give the participants
information about Transgender led state wide or city advocacy
groups/organizations, or transgender specific projects/programs of
LGBT advocacy organizations. The purpose of this information will be
to inform the section of the institute titled "Organizational
Development" which we hope will build on, encourage, and empower
transgender activists to build power in their local states and
communities.

This information will also help us build a broader picture of the
types of transgender advocacy happening around the country. I also
encourage folks to forward this survey to other transgender activists
that are doing advocacy work at whatever level.

We also hope you will be attending Creating Change and will want to
take part in this exciting Institute. If you have any questions about
this survey please email gscott@masstpc.org and if you have questions
about Creating Change please contact creatingchange@thetaskforce.org.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to take this survey and I
will provide what ever materials come out of this to all those who
take this survey along with those who attend this institute
