    Because, according to one report, “a total of five Black transgender women have been found dead in four states in the past month, bringing the death toll to at least seven since the beginning of June, which is celebrated as LGBTQ Pride Month in the U.S.”

    This epidemic of violence against Black trans women *must* end.

    I really want to help out the BLM movement and contribute to some sort of COVID relief. I also support Trans rights fully and want to aid in getting them their rights. However, I’m not exactly swimming in funds at the moment. Since BTAC seems to touch all of those, it seemed reasonable to me to donate to this cause. I hope that makes a little sense.

    Keep strong ❤

    We held a raffle to help raise funds for your organization. We support your work and hope this helps a little.

    This donation is the result of an art fundraiser that sold prints to raise money for BTAC in light of the ongoing movement for racial justice and to value Black lives. Additionally, this donation is intended to honor the 51st anniversary of the Stonewall Riots lead by Trans POC activists Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. During this auspicious and revolutionary time it is paramount that we advocate for the most vulnerable among us and stand with our BIPOC and LBGTQIA+ brothers and sisters. If you are interested, I would love to mail one of the remaining prints signed by the artist that was sold as part of the fundraiser to your headquarters.

    I’ve always stood behind the LGBTQ+ movement but as a cis gendered female, becoming best friends with a FTM trans person helped me learn so much more about the trans experience and how I can do more to lift up trans voices and strive for equity in this community.

    I’m a trans woman who feels the sting of discrimination every day due to my identity but I also have white privilege. I cannot imagine the intersection of trans identity and racism. We have to do a better job supporting each other. Black trans lives matter and are at perhaps the greatest danger in our society. I wish I could give more but I hope this helps.
