John,

Giving Tuesday is an annual day of giving, dedicated to celebrating philanthropy worldwide – and is important for organizations fighting for equality, like ours.

We know you are being inundated with messages asking for support. So, we won’t waste your time: The movement for trans lives must be led by trans people and trans organizations. 

To do that, we need your help.

Celebrate #GivingTuesday by taking one minute to donate to A4TE and support our ongoing work for trans equality. Your donation directly fuels a trans-led organization fighting for the rights of trans people nationwide. Every gift is meaningful to us, whether it’s $5 or $5,000. 

Everyday A4TE fights for trans rights, from our work in state and federal court to providing critical community resources like the Trans Legal Survival Guide. And we do so with a dedicated team of attorneys, experts, strategists, and advocates.

Even after our merger, many organizations have budgets and staff that are two or even five times the size of ours. We highly value the work of our allies in the trans rights movement, but no one fights harder for trans rights than trans-led organizations.

Before you go, one last thing. While A4TE urgently raises funds on #GivingTuesday, anti-trans extremists are doing the same. They are using this very same day to promote hateful rhetoric to fuel their attempts to extinguish our progress towards full equality. 

We can’t let them win, not today, not ever.

Your donation today for #GivingTuesday allows A4TE to plan not just for tomorrow, but for a bright and lasting future where safety and protections are secure for trans people. Join us: make a gift to A4TE today.

On behalf of all of us at A4TE, thank you for your support. And always remember, together we will win.

Warmly, 

Andrea “Andy” Hong Marra (she/her) 
CEO 
  

P.S. I thought you might want to see the Trans Legal Survival Guide I mentioned earlier.
