About Trans Formations Project

Who We Are

The Trans Formations Project is a trans-led, grassroots and volunteer-driven 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization dedicated to both informing about and advocating against the anti-trans legislative crisis in the United States. To these ends, we maintain a database of all anti-trans legislation that has been introduced since 2021, when our organization was founded, in all 50 states and nationally. We also maintain a database of contact information for all representatives both at the national and state level, as well as their voting records on anti-trans legislation both in committee and on the floor. We use our database and our team of researchers to publish a weekly newsletter of all happenings in the trans advocacy space in the US as well as maintain a robust social media presence. Above all, we are grounded in community and committed to providing our information accurately, actionably, and accessibly.

Our work has been featured in NPR, the Washington Post, and other notable publications. The Movement Advancement Project uses the Trans Formations Project’s database to check their work, and it is used by other movement organizations to track and inform legislative advocacy nationwide. Additionally, the Trans Formations Project’s newsletter has been shared by celebrities such as Alok Menon, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Billy Porter.

Our database is the only resource we know of to effectively compile all information about bills that threaten transgender people and bills that could help transgender people, as well as compile full contact information for all representatives relevant to such bill proposals. We are committed to compiling this information in a single place in order to shorten the path from information to action on behalf of constituents, and empower individuals to make tangible change in the fight for transgender rights. In addition to our continuously-updating database, we also are investing in writing and educating about these bills.

Your donation will allow us to continue funding web-hosting, legislative tracking and outreach services that can make our mission more accessible and broad reaching, allowing us to create change, together.
