TRACTION's mission is to cultivate connection and visibility for transgender and gender-diverse people through service in support of underserved communities.

We're doing that through our primary programs:

• Project Open Arms supports displaced trans+ people fleeing Red State persecution

• Trans Liberation NewsSource media projects documenting trans activism through a gender-diverse lens, featuring:

Trans Heartbeat – a video series showcasing trans+ leadership and allyship
Community Campfires - virtual education and discussions addressing current events important to trans+ people
TRACTION Action Comix & Reels - myth-busting and truth-telling about trans+ folks and lives

• TRACTION's Volunteer Corps supports underserved communities and promotes trans visibility and affirmation

• Vibes! Music Showcases support trans+ artists and advocates and build community

• Emerge! Summits & virtual presentations inform and entertain

• Trans Pride 365 community calendar keeps you up to date on events of interest in WA and across the U.S.

PLEASE DONATE: Your donations help TRACTION continue creating connections and belonging for trans+ people and their families all over Washington. THANK YOU for your support.

We exist. We have always existed. Let our joy and excellence be embraced as we resist the forces against us and deepen our resolve toward liberation.
