About Us
Advocates for Trans Equality (A4TE) is a national organization committed to advancing justice and equity for transgender and non-binary people through impact litigation, direct legal services, advocacy, and public education. A4TE's Legal Programs Department currently includes the Impact Litigation Project, Name Change Project, and Trans Health Project. A4TE has sued counties in New York and Florida for violence against trans people in jails. We've won federal lawsuits in Georgia and North Carolina seeking the removal of transgender-related exclusions in employee health care plans. We are actively partnering with grassroots leaders and organizations in Texas and other states to push back against the attacks on transgender young people. Last year alone, we assisted over 500 low-income trans people with name changes. And we're just getting started.
Position Overview
This is an opportunity to play a role in our nation's movement for transgender rights. Summer legal interns will primarily assist the impact litigation and Trans Health Project teams with legal research and writing, direct representation, policy advocacy, alternative dispute resolution, and client intake, but also may perform some work for the Name Change Project, including updating our repository of information on how to update identity documents in various states. Summer Legal interns' preferences among our program areas will be taken into account in assigning work; however, the internship will likely comprise at least some work in each. The Summer internship is a twelve-week, full-time position with availability for at least 32 hours per week.
