Silsila Mutual Aid Fund for Dolls

The Silsila Mutual Aid Fund for Dolls is a dedicated resource created to directly support Black and Brown trans and third gender women around the world. Born from our commitment to community care and economic justice, this fund operates independently from our performing arts collective to ensure that every contribution reaches those who need it most—without dilution, without barriers, and without compromise.

We believe in the inherent dignity and worth of every trans and third gender woman, particularly those from marginalized communities who face compounded barriers to safety, healthcare, housing, and economic opportunity. This fund exists to provide direct, unconditional support that honors the agency and resilience of our sisters across the globe.

Whether supporting immediate needs like food security, housing assistance, or medical care, or enabling creative and entrepreneurial pursuits that foster self-determination, your contributions become lifelines and pathways to dignity. The name "Dolls" reflects our deep respect and affection for the beautiful, complex, and powerful women we stand with—queer, trans, and gender-nonconforming people who have always been at the heart of our communities and our movements.

This is mutual aid in its purest form: resources flowing directly to those who need them most, with love, solidarity, and no strings attached. Together, we can create the world our sisters deserve—one where they are seen, supported, and celebrated.
