Dear John,

We've been blown away by the response to going digital for the 7th Annual Transgender Information & Empowerment Summit (TIES)! Virginians are already excited about the new opportunities and easy access of this virtual conference, now happening over four days from Wednesday, October 14 to Saturday, October 17. Happily, we've just launched our TIES 2020 webpage which features plenty of ways to get involved to make this year the best conference yet - check it out!

TIES has a lot to offer!

No matter what you’re looking for, there is something at TIES for you:

  • Community social events and opportunities to connect one-on-one.
  • Dozens of workshops that cover a range of topics from health insurance to racial justice to voting rights, and so much more!
  • Name and Gender Marker Change Clinic with free legal assistance for that process.
  • Free wellness center where you can talk with a trans-affirming mental health or medical provider to ask questions and find resources.
  • Programming for trans and gender expansive youth, family members, partners, and allies.
  • Interpretation in Spanish and American Sign Language (ASL) available upon request.

During one of the most transformative years of our lifetime, highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic and national uprisings for Black lives, the power of community has never been more clear. Join us at TIES 2020 to continue fostering the community we need.

TIES exists to connect and empower transgender, non-binary, and gender nonconforming Virginians of all ages as well as family members, partners, and allies! We're able to keep TIES free for our community because of support from our donors. Please consider giving to keep this vital program up and running!

We can't wait to see you at our reimagined TIES - make sure you check out the web page and find out how you can get involved today!
