Exciting news! We’re partnering with the Center for American Progress and have launched a new Transgender Veterans Toolkit—a practical, state-focused resource that equips policymakers with proven programs that can be quickly deployed, and without the need to pass any new laws.   It focuses on proven, achievable policy changes in: 1. Health Care 2. Employment and Credentialing 3. Housing As this administration deliberately targets, discriminates, and punishes trans service-members simply for being who they are, there are concrete steps leaders at the state and local level can take to help ensure they receive the benefits they've earned.
