Transforming

As an organization we always support our community in every way we can. Our community historically is hit first and the hardest with a longer time to recover. As a community with limited resources and many folks with non traditional jobs due to the many barriers we face, many are gig economy workers. Over the past year we have seen the continued struggles to meet folks basic necessities. That's why for over the past year Trans(forming) has raised funds to support those directly impacted by this ongoing pandemic. We have been able to raise funding and support over 20 people and their families. We were able to support by providing direct funding for rental assistance, food,utilities, transportation, and COVID-19 supplies. We need your help to continue supporting those who need it most. Help AFAB individuals and their families by giving to a black-trans led organization funds will go directly to those in need!!!! In this time of crisis, our organization is being hit with extra requests for support. Please help us help them! Donate now above! Anything will help, if you are unable to support financially please share with your contacts! If you would like to donate anything other than cash app please send us an email at info@trans-forming.org.

Thanks in advance for your support!

#BLACKTRANSLIVESMATTER

As the country is protesting for #Black Lives Matter the voice of Black trans people aren't acknowledged and fought for the same. Allies join the call for stand in unity with BlackTransmen On May 27 a transman was murder by a police officer in Tallahassee Florida. The national protest and recognition of his Life and Name have been excluded because of his gender identity. Even in his death the world is still misgendering him to well known for the trans community.
