We're about 70% of the way to our goal. Help us reach the finish line.

Black Trans Texas Connection @blacktranstexas.bsky.social · May 24

Trans women in Texas are being arrested for being unhoused. It is dangerous to be a trans woman and put in a men’s facility. Help us bail out trans woman so she can come and stay at our trans shelter.
