Location: Robert Treat Hotel (Newark, NJ) | Time: 9am - 4pm | RSVP

Pandemics are something the Transgender community face at disproportionate levels. The HIV epidemic and Covid-19 pandemic are no different. A common thread being the lack of access and unjust attacks when it comes to Transgender rights to health and mental wellness and care.

To move Beyond the Pandemic we must create avenues for self-empowerment, access to Gender Care, and elevate social support for the Transgender and Gender Diverse Community.
