Daily newsletter 11/21

➡️ The Trump administration has quietly erased transgender caregivers and caregivers of color from a list of underserved or hard-to-reach populations, ignoring the fact that these communities experience greater negative impacts from caregiving. Our friends at The 19th News have the story.

Plus, multiple southern states have banned trans books from YA and children’s sections in libraries, the South’s first out queer congresswoman is fighting the GOP’s effort to cut her out of Congress, and the Coast Guard has been forced to backtrack after intense reactions to its weakened position on hate symbols.

We also take a look at a new shelter for LGBTQ+ youth recently opened in Harlem by the Ali Forney Center, thanks to the generosity of countless people and organizations.

Have a good weekend,
