On Wednesday, in an unprecedented ruling, a judge in Paramaribo, Suriname granted Yvanna Hilton, a transgender woman's request to change her gender at the Census Office. Despite objections from religious organizations, the court ruled a woman who was assigned male at birth should be able to change her gender. Hilton initiated the court proceedings about a year ago after she underwent gender affirming surgery, but the Census Office CBB refused to formally change her gender. #Suriname #TransLivesMatter #TransIsBeautiful #CaribbeanEqualityProject #TheCEP #Caribbean #Lesbian #Gay #Bisexual #Transgender #Queer #LGBT #LGBTQ

WE WON! On October 8, 2019, our executive director @mohamedq_amin organized our queer and trans Caribbean immigrants to rally for LGBTQ rights outside of the Supreme Court as oral arguments were heard in three workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation cases. Today, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the existing Civil Rights Act of 1964, forbids job discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, a major victory for our advocacy to end workplace discrimination and to create employment equity for our LGBTQ family. #PrideMonth #employmentequity #Caribbean #LGBTQ #caribbeanequalityproject (at Supreme Court of the United States) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBdbe3vhRz0/?igshid=nd27f7olws3l

#Repost @darrenjglenn Hello friends, Sending you all lots of hugs during this increasingly uncertain time. We’re doing our best at @caribbeanequalityproject to respond to a flood of local requests for material aid our community. Because New York and Queens in particular is so severely impacted and will be for another few weeks, we won’t be able to continue to do this without some help from those who are able to. Please consider donating to our relief fund to keep our folks fed and housed during the next month. Your help and solidarity is appreciated. If you’re in the Queens area and need help, inbox me. #linkinbio Bit.ly/CEPCovid-19Relief . #CaribbeanEqualityProject #CEP #Energency #emergencyrelieffund #relieffund #relieffundraiser #covidkindness #covid2020 #COVID19 #Coronavirus #NewYork #NewYorkers #immigrants #immigrantnewyorker #lgbtqnewyork #blacklivesmatter #queensnyc #coronavırusnews #newyorkcity #mutualaid #lgbtcaribbean https://www.instagram.com/p/B-lMsTSh3Y8/?igshid=540oce3brl15
