TransLash Media is an independent news organization that tells trans stories to save trans lives. As anti-trans violence spreads through American culture and beyond, we push back on harmful narratives by centering the joy and dignity of the trans community. As authoritarianism rises, our work combats disinformation and protects democracy. We’re guided by the strategy of our founder Imara Jones, a Black trans journalist who shared her personal story in communities across the country as a powerful antidote to ignorance and cultural erasure. Today, fueled by a team of journalists and media makers, TransLash has grown into a multi-platform, award-winning organization with deep credibility and impact in the trans community and beyond. Together, we’re imagining new futures for trans people—and bringing those futures to life.
