Who Are We?
We are a community run organization dedicated to providing support & resources to transgender residents of Alabama. Through advocacy, education, & community outreach, we work to uplift the transgender community & rights of all LGBTQ+ residents in the state.
Why Do We Exist?
ALTRA was established after it's creator experienced a myriad of rights violations and misinformation from local state entities while trying to correct her documents. Having spent time, money, and stress, fighting the state government to adhere to their own policies. It became clear that Alabama’s transgender community continues to face barriers of misinformation, inaccessible public policies, and discriminatory attitudes. Recognizing these challenges, ALTRA was created to provide resources and support for the community.
