"In this moment of political darkness, New York will be the light, Mamdani said. Here, we believe in standing up for those we love, whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many Black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job, a single mom still waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with their back against the wall. Your struggle is ours, too."
"Mamdani's win may also indicate strong public support for transgender rights and that Democrats need not consider it politically dangerous to stand by the trans community. During his campaign, Mamdani pledged to spend $57 million on medical centers that provide gender-affirming care and $8 million more to develop new and broader resources. While campaigning, he attended a Trans Day of Visibility rally in March and a trans community town hall in May."
New York City will expand and protect gender-affirming care, become a pro-trans sanctuary city, and establish an Office of LGBTQIA+ affairs. The city plans to allocate $57 million for medical centers providing gender-affirming care and an additional $8 million for broader resources. Hundreds of lawyers will be mobilized to combat federal actions targeting transgender people. Campaign activities included attending a Trans Day of Visibility rally and a trans community town hall. The campaign emphasized affordability while promising legal, medical, and administrative support for transgender, immigrant, and other vulnerable communities.
