Looking back on the last year I am incredibly humbled and honoured with the trust our community has put in the Trans Justice Project.
It’s been hard work, and sometimes quite daunting, starting this organisation but I have found so much courage in how people have wrapped around us, backed us up, and offered their time, expertise, and money to help make a difference.
We have just released our Impact Report for 2023. You can read the full report on our website but here is just a small snapshot of what we have achieved together.
I am incredibly proud to show the efforts of the last year and how our movement is already changing the landscape around trans justice in Australia.
- 65 People trained in strategic messaging for trans justice
- 600+ People trained in identifying anti-trans disinformation
- 250+ People trained in how to have conversations for trans justice
- 50+ Organisations briefed on the tactics and strategy of the anti-trans lobby
- Released the 'Fuelling Hate' Report the largest investigation into experiences of anti-trans hate in Australia
- 116 copies of the Fueling Hate report delivered to more than 88 politicians
- 200+ Organisations signed onto our Statement of Solidarity with the Trans Community
- 35+ Media mentions, appearances, or articles written about the work of the Trans Justice Project
We are gearing up for a massive year in 2024. We will be supporting the formation of local action groups, holding our first strategy retreat, and establishing a training program for trans and gender diverse change-makers. Additionally, we will be launching Disinfo Watch, our new campaign to expose the lies of the anti-trans lobby. I honestly can't wait.
Thanks for being a part of this journey and I am so excited for us all to work together in 2024.
Love and solidarity,
Jackie Turner (she/her), Director
