The idea of moving abroad can be overwhelming and terrifying. I know...
You feel the pressure building. Laws are changing. Rights are being stripped away. Safety is no longer a given — and you're wondering if it's time to go.
You're not alone. And you're not wrong for exploring your options.
But figuring out how to leave the U.S. and where to go — especially as a trans person or with a young trans person in your family — comes with unique challenges and even more questions.
This webinar is designed to help.
What's Included:
~90 minutes of prepared content + a live Q&A
Downloadable cheat sheets and document checklists
Guidance rooted in real-world experience, not theory
I’m Debi Jackson — a longtime advocate for transgender rights and LGBTQ+ families.
After years of advocacy work and growing concerns about safety, I relocated abroad with my family after careful planning, research, and a lot of emotional labor.
I created this webinar to share what I’ve learned — not just from reading immigration websites, but from actually doing it. You'll hear my real experience navigating the emotional, legal, and logistical challenges of international relocation.
