"In April 2006, the Sylvia Rivera Law Project in New York City
contacted LGBT, prisoner rights, and human rights activists and
attorneys across the country to create a national conversation about
transgender imprisonment issues. Over the next year and a half, a
vibrant coalition of local and national organizations came together to

to develop national priorities towards ending the criminalization and
imprisonment of transgender communities"
