  • About Us

    TJLP consists of a group of folks who believe in the power of communal care over systemic oppression. We are radical activists, legal workers, and organizers who provide support, advocacy, and free, holistic criminal legal services to poor and street-based transgender people in Illinois.

    We use our legal access and our privilege as people on the outside to further the prison abolition movement and support people on the inside. We work in three project areas: legal services, support community survival, and educational resources and trainings.
