Give Out 2023: Mariela's Somos Familia Fundraiser

Somos Familia was founded in 2007 by two Bay Area moms with LGBTQI sons that wanted to connect with other Latinx families to better support their children. 15 years later, Somos Familia continues the work to build leadership in our Latinx families and communities to create a culture where people of diverse genders and sexual orientations can thrive. 

I joined Somos Familia's Board in 2017, excited to connect with folks who shared my lived experience, and to give back to the community that has nurtured me. Somos' work continues to inspire: parent, youth, and transmasculine support groups, workshops, bilingual resource development, and much more. Somos' is building a world where LGBTQI+ folks feel safe, included, and can thrive.
