More than 250 community members, activists, allies, and family packed into Crash Nightclub in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood to celebrate the Transgender Law Center’s 4 years of making change in California. The focus of the night, though, was the work of seven amazing individuals and organizations who helped build the movement, propel it forward, or make it relevant to the entire community.
