Lavender Rights Project (LRP) is advancing gender self-determination, collective safety, and community-rooted systems of care. We work at the intersections of housing justice, policy transformation, movement lawyering, and narrative power to shift cultural norms and expand what safety and liberation can look like for Black, Trans and gender-expansive people.

We believe that the people most impacted by systemic harm are the ones who hold the knowledge we need to build new worlds. Our work centers Black and Trans leadership not as symbolic representation, but as strategic necessity. Through legal advocacy, supportive housing, community organizing, political education, and storytelling, we create the infrastructure our communities need to survive, heal, and thrive.



Stay ready. Stay rooted. Stay loud.

Our Purpose

Lavender Rights Project is a Black Trans feminist organization committed to dismantling oppressive systems that disproportionately harm Black communities. We believe that those most impacted by injustice are the architects of liberation, and we ground our work in their lived experiences, resilience, and leadership. Through policy and legal advocacy, movement lawyering, community organizing, and wraparound supportive housing, we build pathways to justice, empowerment, and systemic change.
