Exciting news! Today, we’re thrilled to announce that longtime quantitative methodologist, population scientist, and demographer Ankit Rastogi (they/them) will join A4TE as our first-ever Director of Research. Ankit combines their expertise with other a worldview that is firmly rooted in queer communities of color, and will officially start in their new role later this month! Ankit will lead the design and execution of a robust research program to advance trans rights by elevating our voices and leadership and engaging with advocates, experts, and attorneys across the LGBTQI+ movement. Ankit has over a decade of experience using statistical research to inform social movements. They’re passionate about using big-picture data - like the census! - to connect the dots between social processes at the community level, which helps get resources to the people who need them the most. As we expand our research capabilities and our newly created Public Education department, we have big plans to get the best possible research on trans life and health out to empower our community. Stay tuned - we can’t wait to share more!

About us
The National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) is a 501(c)3 social justice organization dedicated to advancing the equality of transgender people through advocacy, collaboration and empowerment. NCTE was founded in 2003 by transgender activists who saw the urgent need for a consistent voice in Washington DC for transgender people. NCTE provides this presence by monitoring federal activity and communicating this activity to our members around the country, providing congressional education, and establishing a center of expertise on transgender issues.

We know you’ve been waiting, and now the day is finally here! The National Center for Transgender Equality is proud to announce the release of the first report from the 2022 U.S. Trans Survey – the Early Insights report! A record number of transgender people took the 2022 survey – 92,329 to be exact. That’s over three times the number of respondents of the last survey in 2015. We appreciate every one of you who took or shared the survey, and now we’re finally able to share the first of many reports to be released. https://ustranssurvey.org/

BREAKING NEWS: NCTE and TLDEF are merging to create Advocates for Trans Equality! NCTE and TLDEF already have a long history of partnering to fight for the legal rights and protection of transgender people. Even though we’ve achieved many victories over that time, it feels like it was just a warm-up for the journey ahead. With a record number of attacks on trans people and trans rights, now is the time to unite and use our combined power and influence to advance trans equality in bigger and bolder ways than our organizations ever could alone. We're making major moves for trans power in 2024 - and beyond! Let's stand together, celebrate our diverse community, and work towards a future where everyone can live authentically and without fear. We couldn't be more excited for this new era! https://lnkd.in/eQ4AHVzc
Two of the country’s largest transgender rights organizations will merge

Next Monday, November 20, we will mark Trans Day of Remembrance. This year, we've created a digital memorial for both grieving and celebrating those we've lost. At transremembrance.org, you can learn the stories of those we've lost, read the Remembrance Report, and help us make sure that none of those we lost will ever be forgotten. This was a labor of love, and only made possible by the hard work of our staff, our organizational partners, community members, trans + queer journalists, family members, and friends of those we've lost. The portraits seen here are just some of the individuals whose memory we honor this year. On the 20th, we'll share more about the project. In the meantime, visit with the stories of the bright and beloved ones we've lost. Read and share the words of those who loved them. And know that our community - and our love for each other - is our strength. ❤️ Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gbmabZia
