(WASHINGTON, DC – FEBRUARY 1, 2021) – Barbara Satin, a transgender activist who has worked on issues of aging, faith, and gender justice, will retire from a long and successful career in advocacy and step down as Faith Work Director at the National LGBTQ Task Force, where her responsibilities included working for the full inclusion of trans persons in communities of faith.

The Task Force will launch a national search for a new Faith Outreach Director shortly. “Barbara Satin’s contributions to the movement are innumerable and will be felt for generations to come,” said Kierra Johnson, Executive Director of the National LGBTQ Task Force. “You only need to be in the room with her for moments to feel the power of her presence and authenticity.

Listening to her words reveals the depth of her love for people and her conviction in the belief that justice is not only possible but inevitable.

Truthful and compassionate, fierce, and rooted, visionary and practical – Barbara seems to effortlessly lead with integrity and a balance not exhibited by many.
