“Vital, gorgeous and justice-driven, Small Works for Big Change connects two components: social change and cultural work. Time and again, this benefit re-invigorates and rejoices a comprehensive vision of a bountiful Queer and Trans community,” said

SRLP is a leading national innovator for legal advocacy and movement building on behalf of transgender communities.  SRLP’s work addresses both the root causes and effects of discrimination and violence on the basis of gender identity and expression. Since its inception in 2002, SRLP has won precedent-setting lawsuits and policy victories for transgender communities and has provided free legal services to over 1,500 low-income people and people of color who are transgender, intersex, or gender non-conforming.
