📣 Invest in LGBTQ+ Immigrant New Yorkers

The , a steering committee member of the New York City Trans & Q***r Coalition (***rcoalition), is advancing a historic FY27 budget proposal to create the LGBTQ+ Immigrant Legal Services Fund. This new initiative calls for a transformative, $15 million annual investment in culturally competent, accessible, and community-centered legal services tailored to LGBTQ+ immigrants in New York City. The proposed fund will address longstanding gaps in immigration representation, strengthen legal protections, and ensure equitable access to justice for one of the city’s most vulnerable communities.

🗽Fund Diverse Entry points to service:
⚖️ $7.5M to create a new Speaker City Wide Initiative to be allocated to non-profits that applied to the City Council discretionary funding.

⚖️ $7.5M allocated to expand the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs’ existing services to include additional LGBTQIA+ specialized attorneys and social workers.

🗣 We call on the New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin (), the LGBTQIA+ Caucus (), CM Elsie Encarnacion (), and CM Linda Lee () to stand with an estimated 150,000–200,000 LGBTQ+ immigrants in NYC, with approximately 60– 70% unable to access needed legal services.

💐🕯️ Rest in power, Kiara St. Jame.

The Caribbean Equality Project is deeply saddened by the passing of Kiara St. James—a fearless advocate, trailblazer, and beloved member of our community whose life and work touched countless people. As the founder and Co-Executive Director of the New York Transgender Advocacy Group (NYTAG), Kiara dedicated her life to advancing equity, safety, and liberation for transgender people, especially Black trans women who are too often pushed to the margins.
