sylvia Rivera Law project

Collective providing free legal aid to low-income trans, intersex, and gender non-conforming people, with emphasis on those facing criminalization. SRLP’s Movement Building Team works on ending trans detention and abuse on Rikers and in ICE jails. By combining legal help with advocacy (like the campaign that ended NYC’s practice of jailing trans women at men’s facilities), SRLP tackles state violence against trans people.
