About me
Luna Isaiah Floyd (they/he) is an Equal Justice Works Fellow at Lambda Legal. Their work with Lambda Legal's Youth in Out-of-Home Care Project centers the needs of transgender youth in foster care and juvenile justice settings, as well as transgender youth experiencing homelessness. At Lambda, they have litigated cases against executive orders affecting youth, produced model policy to improve states’ treatment of LGBTQ+ youth in out-of-home care, trained hundreds of attorneys across the country on best practices in representing their young transgender and nonbinary clients, published a guide to help attorneys for youth secure gender-affirming care for their clients, and led a national coalition of juvenile legal system advocates. While in law school, he worked on cases challenging bans on sports participation for trans youth and bans on gender-affirming care for minors through internships and externships with the ACLU LGBTQ+ Rights Project, the National Center for Lesbian Rights, and GLBTQ+ Legal Advocates and Defenders.
