El/La Para TransLatinas works to build a world where trans, intersex and gender-diverse Latinx individuals feel we deserve to protect, love and develop ourselves. By building this base, we support each other in protecting ourselves against violence, abuse and illness. El/La is an organization for the trans, intersex and gender-diverse Latinx immigrant community that works to build collective vision and action to promote our survival and improve our quality of life in the San Francisco Bay Area. Because we exist in a world that fears and hates transgender people, women and immigrants, we fight for justice. We respond to those who see us as shameful, disposable or less than human. We are here to reflect the style and grace of our survival, and to make new paths for ourselves.
