The Christopher Street Project is a U.S.-based political advocacy organization focused on advancing the rights of transgender individuals. The organization focuses on electing candidates who are proponents of transgender rights to Congress, monitoring Democratic lawmakers’ commitments to the transgender community, and countering legislative actions that it perceives as harmful to transgender Americans.
Mission
The Christopher Street Project, named in reference to the 1969 Stonewall Riots, was founded in January 2025.[1] The organization focuses on building and leveraging political power to advance equity for transgender individuals across the United States.[2] Amid ongoing debates and legislative activity related to transgender rights, the Christopher Street Project was founded as an electoral organization and a messaging resource, designed to influence Democratic policy positions and communications strategy related to transgender issues.[2] The organization targets Democratic leaders who they believe have not consistently supported transgender rights, such as votes that have adversely affected healthcare access for military families with transgender children.[3][4]
Support
The Christopher Street Project has been publicly supported by members of the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate, including U.S. Senator Andy Kim and Representatives Ayanna Pressley and Jasmine Crockett.[2] Pressley said in a statement that she was “proud to help launch the Christopher Street Project and continue building a more just America where our transgender siblings are treated with respect, receive the healthcare they need, and can live their lives free from discrimination and violence.”[2]
