  • The Transgender Freedom Project is a national, centralized public education campaign to build public support for transgender-inclusive nondiscrimination protections. The goals of the project are to introduce more Americans to who transgender people are, develop winning campaign messages and strategies, and equip policymakers and campaigners with the proven strategies and tools needed to successfully advocate for laws that make transgender people safer and more equal.
