At the 2017 Action for Trans Health Conference in October, we will be discussing and voting to co-create policy, processes and plans for campaigns that will be used across the network to deliver change for trans (including non-binary) people.
Trans members of ATH can suggest motions and vote, cis people are welcome to join as supporters but cannot steer the organisation. More information about joining is here: https://actionfortranshealth.org.uk/join
