Three TGEA board members, Randi Johnson, Chaiya Mohanty Ortiz, and Sarah Huggins (pictured above, from left to right) attended Transgender Lobby Day on June 8th and 9th, sponsored by the National Center for Transgender Equality. They met with the staff of their Congressmen and also of Senators Kaine and Warner. In addition to sharing their personal stories, they spoke on the importance of the Equality Act (H.R. 2282; S.1006), the End of Racial Profiling Act (H.R. 1498), and concern and opposition over the American Health Care Act (H.R. 1628). We, in Northern Virginia, are fortunate to have legislators who support the LGBT community. In all, attendees came from 40 states and included many parents of transgender youth. The transgender community and allies are making sure our voices are heard on Capitol Hill!
