    Gender Affirming Care and Transgender Rights: What Lawyers Need to Know

    Join us for this timely panel discussing the current state of Transgender Rights and Gender Affirming Care both nationally and on a state level.  Gender-affirming care, a medically necessary model of care, supports transgender and non-binary individuals by aligning their physical and social aspects with their gender identity, and is increasingly under attack, leading to state-level bans and legal challenges.  Our panel of legal experts will discuss current federal efforts to ban gender affirming care and severely curtail the rights of Transgender Individuals.  They will also discuss so of the ways that Illinois is working to protect these rights.  LAGBAC will co-host the CLE.

    This panel discussion will highlight the key issues surrounding the “DREAM” Act a.k.a. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which faces an uncertain future. The presentation will begin by discussing DACA’s limitations, which creates adversity for the approximately 530,000 DACA recipients that live in the United States, as well as many others that are eligible to apply for DACA. The CLE will then explore DACA’s impact on the livelihoods of DACA recipients, including family, education, travel and employment. Lastly, the presentation will focus on the administrative challenges that DACA has faced and the current outlook of the program. If time allows, members of the audience may also have the opportunity to ask panelists questions. HLAI will co-host the CLE. Each section will include a discussion about how attorneys and legal professionals can lead community discussions and the drive towards reformative policies for the benefit of DACA recipients.

The conversation will end with an overview of deportation proceedings and what rights potential deportees have in the context of these proceedings.
