TTO is rooted in resistance and revolution. We are now in a battle against authoritarianism, homophobia, transphobia, and racism. We’re already seeing the effects of these attacks on our work - including the NEA rescinding our grant for the Queer (Re)Public Residency Festival.

TTO is fighting for our community across the country to have a safe place for not only refuge, but artistic freedom - from joining forces with the ACLU in a lawsuit against this administration’s attempt to erase our trans, nonbinary, and gender expansive narratives, to working with Boston city council to codify the city as a sanctuary for transgender and gender non-conforming people. Our history reminds us: it is our birthright not only to persevere, but to change the trajectory of everything around us, all through the power of collective action.

In times like these, spaces for wholeness and community care (like ours!) are vital for emotional wellness–keeping our spirits strong enough to stand together in resistance. TTO is proud to be a cultural hub that creates life-affirming spaces for our youth, artists, and community members (like you!) to foster connections and experience a sense of belonging.

Change requires momentum. Momentum requires resources. Your generosity makes it all possible - from our artistic programming to our advocacy on the front lines against censorship and erasure. By donating or setting up a recurring gift today, your giving to TTO demonstrates solidarity in action.

Our abundant future will not exist without you. Thank you for mobilizing for liberation alongside us by making a gift this year!

In solidarity,

The Theater Offensive
