SBQS organizes a monthly volunteer day at @questhousehealing.bsky.social. We garden, pull weeds & flip rooms to prepare for the next guest. We also eat a lot of donuts! Join us at our next volunteer day to do something tangible to improve the lives of trans folks. (1/2)

We had a great time presenting our Trans 101 talk to @liccardo.house.gov's staff last week at his district office here in San Jose. It was great sharing our experiences and learning more about how Rep. Liccardo has supported the trans community. (1/2)

Through this work, guests at Quest House will be able to enjoy fresh veggies and a more organized house while they recover from gender affirming surgery. We are lucky to play a small role in improving the lives of trans folks! (2/2)

SBQS is a queer-led organizing committee. We meet monthly to discuss our organizing goals, plan social events, organize mutual aid, and find ways to build power in the South Bay.
Same graphic as previous post. White text is the same as the post with the logo below that. The logo of the group is a circle. A fist in trans flag colors is surrounded on a rainbow background. Around that is a white border with SOUTH BAY QUEER SOLIDARITY in black around the outside.
