THANK YOU to everyone who joined us last Friday at Terra Gallery and to everyone who was with us in spirit and supporting SPARK 2023 from afar.

Thanks to 56 sponsorships and over 200 SPARK donations, including those from 10 peer-to-peer fundraisers, from our sliding-scale tickets, and thanks to our 33 SPARK Host Committee members [[link removed]], we reached our SPARK fundraising goal of $290,000 for TLC's work—your collective generosity has actually put us at $292,776 (and counting)—again, thank you so much.

SPARK attendees learned more about Building Trans Power, our national action plan—linked below is that video (starting at the 7:30 mark) plus a brand-new segment that digs further into TLC's historic litigation wins and strategies (starting at the 2:20 mark). We hope you'll watch and share:

Our amazing photographer is working on the full array of SPARK photos but they sent us a preview of just some of the beauty documented last Friday:
[Series of 8 photos from SPARK 2023, mostly of people in groups of two to fifteen; some photos candid with people in the midst of conversation, speeches, or photobooth activity; some posed; mostly taken inside a large industrial-style gallery space at night, lit with shades of pink, gold, and orange; the final photo is of a black folding fan branded with the Trans Agenda for Liberation logo printed in white, being held up with a SPARK 2023 event sign visible in the background]
