ABOUT TRANSGENDER LAW CENTER
Transgender Law Center (TLC) is the largest national, trans-led organization working to set all people free. We champion the right of all transgender and gender-nonconforming people to make their own choices and live freely, safely, and authentically. Prioritizing BIPOC, disabled, and HIV+ communities, we advance community-driven strategies that harness trans knowledge, power, and joy to ensure that we all not only survive but thrive at all ages and phases of life.
( SUMMARY
The Trans Agenda for Liberation Narrative Lab (Trans Narrative Lab) builds the bench of LGBTQ advocates trained in strategic communications, narrative, and movement building strategies.Through our messaging research and narrative interventions, we guide activists and advocates, organizations, and movements through coordinated narrative campaigns, infrastructure building, and campaign development that furthers the goals in the Trans Agenda for Liberation. The Trans Narrative Lab guides TLC through experiments in mass movement, culture, and media narrative strategies to advance trans liberation.
TLC seeks a talented strategist to manage the Trans Narrative Lab's training and narrative infrastructure work.
