Lambda Legal is proud to announce today that Crispin Torres, Community Educator in Lambda Legal’s Midwestern Regional Office, has been named to the Trans 100. The Trans 100 is an annual list that recognizes prominent members of the transgender community across the country.

“Crispin has been a key part on our community education team, and we are delighted that he has been named to the Trans 100,” said Leslie Gabel-Brett, Director of Lambda Legal’s Education and Public Affairs department. “Inclusion on such an esteemed and respected list reflects Crispin’s resolute dedication to being a resource for the transgender community.”

Crispin, who has been with Lambda Legal since 2012, has been a principal voice in the organization’s efforts within the transgender community. Crispin has worked on local and statewide efforts in transgender equality, been instrumental in the 2014 Transgender Day of Remembrance, in Chicago, and was instrumental in shifting its focus from one of survival to one of resilience.

“I am honored to be named on this list with other exceptional trans leaders” said Torres. “It is humbling to have my work recognized at the national level, and this accomplishment motivates me to continue to push harder to promote civil rights for all transgender people.”

The Trans 100 list is released each year on the International Trans Day of Visibility, which occurs on March 31st of every year. The Trans 100 is intended to highlight individuals doing active work for and in the trans community and places special consideration on those working in the areas of ostracism elimination, stigma reduction, poverty reduction, furthering the social and economic development of the trans community, and building infrastructure within the trans community.

The full list of honorees can be found on the Trans 100 website, theTrans100.com.
