There are a lot of trans orgs doing great work right now.
Why donate to us?
Well: we're new. That means that we can move quickly. But that also means we're just starting to build our reserves.
What happens next year? The year after? A direct donation helps us plan ahead and sustain this work.

Hi new followers!
A bit about us. We're a historically volunteer-led team.
Right now we're working on hiring our first staffers to support the urgent, increasing need for ACCURATE journalism on trans communities — and the trans journalists who are often producing that work.
