In Part 1, I sit down with Yanery Cruz, Director of Advocacy and Programs at the New York Transgender Advocacy Group (NYTAG). Yanery, a transgender woman and fierce advocate, discusses NYTAG’s mission to dismantle outdated laws, protect and defend trans rights, and create spaces for healing and radical resilience in the trans community.

We discuss why local, state, and federal elections matter for healthcare and policy, the importance of civic engagement, and key definitions to better understand the LGBTQ+ community. Yanery also highlights NYTAG’s TGNCNB Health and Wellness Summit and their Youth Advocacy Fellowship, both designed to center trans voices and prepare the next generation of leaders.

This conversation explores the deep connection between our bodies, our laws, and our ability to thrive.
