Then help us celebrate queer and trans voices at 8 PM with a digital concert featuring the incredible line-up of talent below. A generous donor has pledged to donate $2,500 if 250 people attend the event - you can support the work just by “showing up!” Register to receive the streaming link on the day of the event.
