Since taking office, Donald Trump has waged a scorched earth campaign against trans people. The man with the most power has expended enormous energy targeting those with the least. New York will not sit idly by while trans people are attacked. We'll deploy hundreds of lawyers to combat Trump's hate, make New York City an LGBTQIA sanctuary city, and create the Office of LGBTQIA affairs to allocate millions for youth and adult housing programs, as well as gender affirming care.
