At Ways2Raise we believe in community.
To us, community means uplifting every member, creating space for those who are struggling, and being an inexhaustible source of comfort and love.
This is why, this holiday season, we are beginning a campaign to create 20 care packages for trans feminine people in need.
(Trans feminine meaning trans women or DMAB nonbinary people.)In addition to facing the majority of the violence targeted towards the lgbtq community, trans feminine community members are often excluded from resources that are created within the community. As the trans community has grown in the last few years, the amount of resources have been disproportionately tailored towards trans masculine individuals. Where there exists clothing programs, safe spaces, and companies dedicated to trans masculine people there are so few of those things directly or even indirectly benefiting trans feminine people.
While a care package itself won’t end the exclusion and discrimination that trans feminine people face, it is a step in the right direction and the first of many that we will be taking as a company and as a community.
There is room for great change in our community. There is room for more love and more support. And it’s time to actively work towards becoming stronger and more bonded as a community. To stand for and support every member of our community, not just some of us.
If you are a trans feminine person who would benefit from our care package, please visit our registry here.
If you would like to be a part of this movement, please donate today.
Hey everyone our trans fem fundraiser is live and we need all hands on deck to accomplish this! No donation is too small and every donation means we are that much closer to helping someone desperately in need!
It’s time to be the change that everyone needs. It’s time to start making a difference for our whole trans family.
