Documentary Citizen Lobbyist Do you ever feel like you want to take action against the government but feel overwhelmed by where to start? Enter Citizen Lobbyist: a new documentary about political activism against the odds; an informative do-it-yourself guide on how to organize your community and make things happen.

Every year, more than 20 transgendered Americans are murdered. Because there is no provision in present hate crimes legislation for transgendered people, these murders go unreported. It is time for trans people to take matters into their own hands. During the divisive 2004 U.S. Presidential campaign, a group of transgendered Americans did just that.

Travelling from all parts of the country, these activists gathered together in Washington, D.C. to lobby Congress. Their goal: to be included in the recently proposed non-discrimination legislation. Despite being extremely well-organized and full of determination, they are soon disheartened when they discover that it was not only the Republican Congress and the `family values` White House that were opposing them, but also the largest gay rights organization in America.

Inspirational and informative, Citizen Lobbyist tells the courageous tale of a group of trans activists working to change the face of human rights.
