A nonprofit fundraiser supporting
TRACTION: trans | community | actionTRACTION cultivates connection and visibility for trans+ people through volunteerism and service.
10 donors
raised $575
20 donor goal
Hey friend,
Did you catch TRACTION in the news this week? We were part of a USA Today story addressing the growing crisis for trans+ people fleeing persecution and violence in conservative states.
The Williams Institute recently reported that nearly half of the folks surveyed had either already moved or wanted to move.
Each day, our work through Project Open Arms to provide safe passage for fleeing "transplants" grows more critical. We're building a powerful community of trans+ folks and allies who won't take any more BS.
Thursday, June 5, is GiveOUT Day, the annual national LGBTQIA+ day of giving. Our GiveOUT Day goal is to raise $10,000, but my personal goal is to secure 20 new donors from among my personal friends and peers, regardless of the amount.
What you might not know is that GiveOUT Day is also a friendly inter-agency competition! Every gift you make during Give OUT Day isn't just a donation - it's a chance to unlock bonus funds for TRACTION. The more we raise and the new donors we get, the better our chances of winning prizes to further support our work.
Your donation will be used to push for societal change while supporting those in need through our programs and volunteer work. Will you join me with your donation?
