Tegan and Sara Foundation launches Open Letter: Artists Against Anti-Trans Legislation in Canada

Tegan and Sara Foundation, the nonprofit started by award-winning musicians Tegan and Sara, are announcing the launch of the Open Letter: Artists Against Anti-Trans Legislation in Canada, on Sunday, March 31, Trans Day of Visibility.

The open letter, signed by more than 400 artists, represents a call to action from artists living in or hailing from Canada to turn attention to the concerning rise of anti-trans legislation in the country. Read the full open letter at teganandsarafoundation.org/open-letter

The letter comes on the heels of Tegan and Sara’s receipt of the Humanitarian Award at the 2024 Junos. During their acceptance speech, Tegan and Sara turned focus to recently-proposed anti-trans legislation in their home province of Alberta.

Throughout their 20+ year career, spanning ten studio albums and more than a million records sold, Tegan and Sara have used music as a medium for storytelling. With that storytelling at its core, they have built a multi-faceted media empire that extends into TV, books, newsletters, and public service, always deeply rooted in music. They added executive producer credits to their resume after the release of the coming-of-age TV series ‘High School’ last fall, which was based on their critically acclaimed, New York Times best-selling memoir.
