Operation LGBTQ+

Creates resources and opportunities for LGBTQ+ people impacted by incarceration without judgement, restrictions or discrimination.

CANS CAN’T STAND

OR is currently working with a community group of transgender adults to repeal Louisiana’s Crime Against Nature Statute (CANS), a law that disproportionately targets the LGBTQ+ community, particularly trans women of color.

OR led a CANS Task Force in 2023 to study the law’s contents, history and enforcement. OR proposed a recommendation to the Louisiana Senate to repeal the law.

WATCH CANS CAN’T STAND

Produced in association with Operation Restoration, NOVAC and The New Yorker.
