TEP is a federally recognized 501c3 non-profit organization whose mission is to move our community out of crisis by creating equitable systems of support centered around Disabled 2TIGE-BIPOC (2Spirit, Trans, Intersex, and Gender Expansive members of the community who are also Black, Indigenous, and or People of Color), to ensure that we all get to thrive.
A word from our founder
In 2016, conservatives and religious extremists showed us that anyone with a big enough eraser could erase decades of people’s blood, sweat, and tears in advancing equity. These attacks and acts of hate have continued to run rampant globally ever since. It’s exhausting. But that’s the point.
TEP was started as a response to the shared narratives of dysphoria, depression, and isolation that were being experienced by community members everywhere and works to serve as a reminder that we don’t need anyone else’s permission to exist!
Look, we’re not here to get caught in the trap of fighting with people who refuse to acknowledge that everyone deserves the most basic right to bodily autonomy. We’re working to build the equitable future that we all deserve. One where we all get to thrive!
