BNSF: Becoming a Trans Ally

One of our key goals is to help you take the information that you learned in this session and use it to make your organization stronger and more effective. To do that, we’ve created this page to provide you with tools, resources, and references to materials mentioned in the training.

As always, the PFLAG National staff is here to help. If you have any questions, comments, or just need some good advice, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
