Resolution declaring August 2024 as Transgender History Month in the City and County of San Francisco.
How it got here
The resolution to declare August 2024 as Transgender History Month in San Francisco originated from advocacy efforts led by local activists and supported by city officials.
Activist Jupiter Peraza and The Transgender District, with support from the Office of Transgender Initiatives and the Women’s Foundation of California, advocated for August to be recognized as Transgender History Month in San Francisco, leading to a proclamation by Mayor London Breed on August 24, 2021.
The Board of Supervisors passed Resolution No. 344-24, declaring San Francisco a sanctuary city for TGNCI2S people, reinforcing the city's commitment to supporting the transgender community.
The Board of Supervisors adopted the resolution declaring August 2024 as Transgender History Month, with a unanimous vote from 10 supervisors.
The resolution was returned unsigned by Mayor London Breed, becoming effective without her approval due to the time limit set by the city charter.
