Gender Justice League

[1] The group advocates for transgender legal, political, and medical rights as well as participating in protests, awareness raising, and fundraising events.

[12][13][14][15][16] These clinics were specifically held between November 2016 and January 2017, due to the group's fear that newly elected president Donald Trump might revoke transgender individual's ability to legally change their names once he was inaugurated.

[13][18] A problem arose, however, as the Gender Justice League wanted to provide money to those trying to change their names, but were unable to due to their tax status.

GJL organized with King County to be able to give individuals seeking a name change the money to do so without forfeiting their nonprofit status.

[32] Members of Gender Justice League claim that the event is a necessary space for transgender individuals and their allies to form community and overcome isolation.
