The Miss Major Alexander L. Lee TGIJP Black Trans Cultural Center, also known as the Transgender Gender-Variant & Intersex Justice Project (TGI Justice Project or TGIJP), is a San Francisco-based nonprofit organization working to end human rights abuses against transgender, intersex, and gender-variant people, particularly trans women of color in California prisons and detention centers.[1][2][3][4] Originally led by black trans activist Miss Major Griffin-Gracy and Asian-American trans man and activist Alexander L. Lee (also the organization's founder),[5] the current executive director of TGIJP is Janetta Johnson, a Black trans woman who was formerly incarcerated in a men's prison.[1][6][7]
In 2016, TGIJP joined Black Lives Matter in withdrawing from the San Francisco Pride Parade, in protest of increased police presence at the event.[8][9]
