Wilhelmina and Mary Anne will start off describing the impact that the administration’s policies and cuts will have/are having on our aging queer communities, especially with regard to the Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare cuts.

We will then hear from Nosente Abadeet Uhuti, who is currently working as an advocate on aging, and she will give us a first-hand perspective on how these cuts are affecting our black and lesbian communities currently and what to expect in future as more cuts come down the line.

Lastly, we will hear from Janyce Jackson Jones with solutions or action plans that can be employed in order to survive these very serious cuts to our services and programs.

The NYC LGBT Center is a party to a national lawsuit against the Trump administration's Executive Orders attacking LGBTQ+ people.

The Center's Chief Operating Officer Jeffrey Klein explains the issues raised by the lawsuit and the impact these cuts would have on LGBTQ+ people across the USA.

Free To Be Youth Project Serves LGBTQ+ Young Homeless and Street-Involved People

Amy Leipziger, the Project Director of the Free To Be Youth Project (FTBYP), describes the legal support the FTBYP provides in institutions for LGBTQ+ young people. She emphasizes the intense fear the Trump administration has created for these youth and the exhaustion of the workers trying to help them. She notes in particular the combining of attacks from federal and local government officials on these youths as Mayor Adams complies with immigration authorities to protect himself from corruption charges. 
 
Amy Leipziger is the Project Director of the Free to Be Youth Project at the Urban Justice Center, which works to interrupt the cycles of poverty and criminalization that prevent homeless and street-involved LGBTQ+ young people from living fulfilling lives free from discrimination, abuse, and oppression. She is dedicated to representing and advocating around the issues of gender, poverty, and discrimination.
