The best part is we still have enough funding leftover to continue to scale up the project in 26!
This year has been a *lot* to navigate with tarrifs, legal restrictions on trans healthcare, and repression of mutual aid groups.
But those 1,117 kits? Yeah... we're gonna double that in January.

Our Year End Wrap continues with the HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit project 🏳️⚧️
We’ve raised over $135k to create more than 1,000 “everything-but-the-meds” kits to help trans people self-administer hormone therapy. And we won’t stop until everyone gets the care they deserve ✌🏽

I hate that I'm asking for help again. But I have no insurance until I'm approved for Medicaid. And I need to raise funds to pay for my COVID pills.

Now, an organization says they've prepared, have private clinics and financial aid ready for families that need them.

Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.
Story to come.
