A recent report by the University of North Carolina School of  Medicine stated the average life expectancy for a transgender woman of color is  35, primarily as a result of violence.

For every print sold in October 2019, a portion of the proceeds will be gifted to Transgender Law Center to fight the injustices committed against the trans community.

On October 24th, a special edition of La Belle  Creole  featuring trans model Jasmine Hassan (seen in background) will be auctioned at Spark! 2019 in San Francisco.  Spark! annually brings together over 400 supporters and partners of TLC to recommit to justice for TGNC (trans and  gender nonconforming) people. 

Transgender Law Center changes law, policy, and attitudes so that all people can live safely, authentically, and free from discrimination, regardless of their gender identity or expression. TLC is the largest United States trans-led organization advocating for a world in which all people are free to define themselves and their futures. Grounded in legal expertise and committed to racial justice, TLC employs a variety of community-driven strategies to keep transgender and gender nonconforming people alive, thriving, and fighting for liberation.
