This Pride month, join Queer|Art and Body Hack as we fundraise for three BIPOC trans-led organizations fighting to protect trans people in the states most impacted by anti-trans violence and new legislation: InTRANSitive (Little Rock, AK), The McKenzie Project (Miami, FL) and TKO
Society (Selma, AL). These organizations are doing the work to provide safety for our extended trans and nonbinary communities: facilitating access to hormones, HIV services, housing, employment opportunities and more. As BIPOC trans community leaders on the frontlines, they know best how to care for their own, and need all the support they can get from across the country!

Who Are We Fundraising For?

InTRANSitive
InTRANSitive works to advance the cause of trans liberation in Arkansas through art, education, advocacy, organizing and culture in order to create effective systemic change and on-the-ground impact. They focus on supporting and building the leadership of trans people with the commitment to a vision and strategy rooted in the grassroots experience of trans migrants of color.

The McKenzie Project
The McKenzie Project is a Black trans led organization based in South Florida that focuses on gender and climate justice through the creative arts and entrepreneurship. The organization is currently working to open a transitional housing program for black and brown transgender folks living with HIV.

TKO Society
In 2017, The Knights & Orchids Society became the first and only AIDS Service Organization and STD/STI clinic in the state of Alabama founded and led by Black Trans and LGBQ people. As community people serving the communities that they represent, TKO's goal is to help more Black trans, same-gender-loving, and Black queer folks access high-quality primary care and endocrinology services.
