Supporting TGIJP continues her work of advocating for incarcerated trans women of color and fighting for their liberation.

At BEAM, we carry her lessons forward as we continue building worlds where Black trans people can live, heal, and thrive.

Miss Major served as the first executive director for the San Francisco-based TGIJP. The organization focuses on ending the human rights abuses committed against transgender, gender-variant, and intersex people in California prisons, jails, and detention centers.

From surviving Attica to standing at Stonewall to nurturing generations of organizers, her legacy lives in every space where Black trans people are protected, affirmed, and believed. Miss Major paved the way, so we can continue the journey.

Considered a mother to trans women across the country, Miss Major created pathways to healing and survival for those too often forgotten. Her work reminds us that community care is not optional but is necessary in how we fight for each other.

With the recent challenges and changes with social welfare and benefits, our team is doing our part to make sure we put funds in the hands of those who need it. As always, funding will be distributed until we reach capacity. Please note that this grant is limited to a first come, first served basis.

But BPD isn’t a moral failing. It’s often rooted in deep emotional wounds and nervous system overwhelm. Education, compassion, and community can help us move past stigma — toward understanding, care, and healing. 💛

Check out our tool kit on simple tips, and remember- center care as much as you can.

Whether you or someone you love is navigating intense highs, deep lows, or shifts in between — you’re not alone, and it’s not your fault. 💛

Understanding is a powerful step toward healing.

What gets called a mood disorder can show up as depression, bipolar or persistent emotional ups and downs that affect how we think, feel, and function day to day. And it’s far more common than people think — yet stigma keeps too many of us from getting support.

This affirmation and shirt reminds us that our care for each other has healing power. But yours now on our site- all proceeds support our healing justice work!!

And Tag someone who reminds you of our collective power to heal!
