"So many attacks are coming down on us everyday that [] you just throw a rally and it turns out it will be a rapid-response rally to something, you know?"
"We planned this rally to launch our campaign, and then found out earlier today that NYU Langone, who had kind of been denying trans care to youth and children under the table, has made their policy official, Daniel said later to kick off the rally. They are caving to the fascist Trump administration and failing in their duty of care as a hospital."
"NYU Langone's decision comes on the heels of the Trump administration's threats to withhold federal funding from any hospitals that provide gender-affirming care to youth."
Community members and elected officials gathered outside the Stonewall National Monument on Feb. 18 to protest NYU Langone's discontinuation of its Transgender Youth Health Program. The decision followed threats from the Trump administration to withhold federal funding from hospitals that provide gender-affirming care to youth. Organizers from the NYC DSA Trans Rights & Bodily Autonomy Campaign and Jews for Racial and Economic Justice noted the rally had been planned before NYU Langone's announcement. Speakers described the hospital as having previously limited youth care and accused it of caving to federal political pressure. Local politicians and candidates condemned the policy change and shared personal experiences.
