The Christopher Street Project (CSP) was founded in January 2025 in response to the escalating political attacks on trans people. CSP envisions a future in America where trans rights are never up for negotiation. CSP builds and leverages collective power for transgender people across the country. We work to hold policymakers accountable on their commitments to trans people, and fight back against attacks on our existence.
