​The Los Angeles Gender Center (LAGC) has a history of being a white-run organization, staffed mostly by white people, with an all-white board making LAGC culpable in the oppression of Black and Brown people. On more than one occasion, LAGC has been accused (rightfully so) of being a white organization focusing on serving white people. LAGC affiliates, the Board of Directors, interns, and associates need to be bold at this moment and acknowledge who we've been, who we are, and who we want to become. We stand in solidarity with the Black Trans Lives and Black Lives Matter movement. We are committed to exposing our role in the oppression of Black people, specifically Black transgender individuals, and to become an actively anti-racist organization. #BlackTransLivesMatter #BlackLivesMatter
