Donate now to protect Trans* lives!
The work of TEP directly impacts the lives of folks who are queer, trans, non-binary, two-spirit, or gender non-conforming, many of whom are people of color.
We can not claim actual equality in this country until disabled trans people of color are THRIVING!
It’s time to stop the hateful attacks against marginalized communities and start creating more collaborative and supportive spaces.
End White Supremacy
Trans rights are human rights, yet we are too often denied access to even the most basic and vital of resources.
We will never truly achieve equity until disabled Trans people of color are THRIVING.
If you’re not building equity with us in mind, you aren’t building equity.

Protect Trans Rights!

From the queerphobic and transphobic legislation we’ve seen targeting trans youth, trans athletes, in schools and bathrooms our ability to exist is constantly being challenged by the systems around us.
In order for our community to thrive we need YOU, to join us in building the equitable solutions of the future.
