A note for how to help:

Are you cis? A trans person with access to more privilege who wants to help? Please consider donating your time/money to the above orgs, or to a grassroots mutual aid group for trans people in need in your local community.

As someone who volunteers in trans relocation, I can say with certainty that some much-needed resources are spare couches or guest rooms for temporary stays, local or cross-country rides, and donations to fundraisers for folks who need to relocate ASAP. Contact a local org or one in the Relocation section to offer these kinds of support!


Much more to come... stay safe and strong <3
