An Evening with Jennifer Levi: The State of Transgender Rights

Immanuel Congregational Church is celebrating our 25th anniversary of becoming an Open & Affirming congregation and kicking things off with a public lecture by Jennifer L. Levi. A reception with Jennifer will follow.

Levi is the Senior Director of Transgender and Queer Rights and a nationally recognized expert on transgender legal issues. Levi led the legal fight against President Trump’s transgender military ban in both Doe v. Trump and Stockman v. Trump. Levi has also been a leader in working on harm reduction for incarcerated transgender people. Levi was co-counsel in two landmark marriage equality cases, winning the freedom to marry for same-sex couples in Massachusetts (Goodridge v. Department of Public Health, 2003) and Connecticut (Kerrigan v. Department of Public Health, 2008).

Through strategic litigation, public policy advocacy, and education, GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD Law) works in New England and nationally to create a just society free of discrimination based on gender identity and expression, HIV status, and sexual orientation.
