The recently formed Trans Advocacy Network (TAN) is now taking applications for membership. TAN is an alliance of transgender organizations that work at the state and local level, coming together to build a stronger trans movement by facilitating the sharing of resources, best practices, and organizing strategies.

Transgender organizations that work on advocacy, training, and/or education related to transgender rights are eligible to join as members. LGBT organizations are only eligible to join as members if the organization is actively advocating on issues that directly relate to transgender equality. National organizations and individual activists are not eligible to join. Organizations that are in the process of forming will be examined on a case-to-case basis to determine their eligibility.
