We are committed to advocate for the rights of translatinas.
OUR MISSION
El/La Para TransLatinas works towards a world where TransLatinas are protected, celebrated, and loved, where trans/intersex/gender diverse Latinx people are welcome, safe, represented and valued in all spheres of life.
OUR VISION
We envision a future in which the human rights to migration, housing, healthcare, food, and safety are respected and protected. Knowing that a more just society for TransLatinx people is a more just society for all, we push towards the day when ALL people and communities are seen, safe and free.

About Us
El/La started as a program of Proyecto ContraSIDA Por Vida (PCPV) in 1993. We were the first translatina HIV prevention program in Northern California. In 2006, after PCPV lost its funding, El/La became its own fiscally sponsored project and today is fiscally sponsored by Community Initiatives. Based on our 30 years of work in the translatina community, we continue to fight for translatina rights and provide resources and personal development in a safe space.

Our Programs
We educate ourselves about risks to our health and safety, support each other in identifying barriers to full participation in society and find resources to overcome those barriers. We make ourselves and our allies visible by showing the world our experience and building coalitions to respond to attacks on our community.
El/La offers virtual workshops! Make sure to like us on Facebook to see our monthly calendar of events.
