While Massachusetts has been hailed as the first state to legalize same-sex marriage and a leader in the fight to safeguard the rights of LGBTQIA+ people, trans and queer folks — especially Black transgender women — still face discrimination, persecution, and violence in our communities.
Massachusetts has been hailed as the first state to legalize same-sex marriage and a leader in the fight to safeguard the rights of LGBTQIA+ people, but trans and queer folks — especially Black transgender women — still face discrimination, persecution, and violence in our communities.
That is why mutal aid groups like the Transgender Emergency Fund of Massachusetts are so essential. TEF-MA provides critical assistance for low-income and homeless transgender people living in Massachusetts. And this weekend, on June 12th, I’ll be joining their resistance march and vigil in honor and memory of Black trans lives.
Will you join me in standing alongside the transgender community by making a contribution to the Transgender Emergency Fund MA today?
Donate to the Transgender Emergency Fund of MA
Your contribution will fund the group’s work with homelessness prevention, shelter assistance, food assistance, prescription co-pay assistance, transportation and escort to medical appointments, and more.
In a moment when members of the trans community remain subject to so much bigotry and hatred, we will stand together to celebrate trans joy, to recognize the contributions trans people make to our communities every day, and reaffirm our commitment to keep up the fight until safety, dignity, and equity are a reality for all trans people.
With solidarity,
