They Love to Talk About Us, So Let’s Give Them Something to Talk About
There has been a lot in the news about us lately.
Over the past few weeks alone, we have seen states pushing restrictions on gender-affirming healthcare, hundreds of bills introduced across the country targeting trans communities, and Kansas moving to revoke the IDs of trans residents overnight. When you look at the headlines, it can feel like a lot is being decided about OUR lives in rooms we are not invited to.
Closed Mouths Don’t Get Fed. And We are Done Starving.

I’m Chastity, Executive Director of the Marsha P. Johnson Institute. Stepping into this role comes with an opportunity and a responsibility that I do not take lightly. My job is to make sure those needs shape what we build and how we fight.
You’ve said you want to be heard.
You’ve said you’re tired of speaking and being ignored.
You’ve said you want action, not just acknowledgement.
