DISABLED TRANS PEOPLE OF COLOR DESERVE TO THRIVE.

Trans Empowerment Project is moving the Trans community out of crisis and into empowerment by focusing on the abolition of white supremacy to ensure that our most marginalized community members, Disabled Queer, Trans, Intersex, and Gender-Expansive People of Color, can thrive and live their best lives.

Our agenda is simple:

EDUCATE ALLIES

EMPOWER COMMUNITY

ENSURE WE ALL THRIVE

Our Trans community includes folks who are Queer, Transgender, Non-Binary, Two-Spirit, Gender-Expansive, Gender Non-Conforming, and other related identities across the gender spectrum. While we center our focus on the liberation and success of Disabled Trans people of color, our work intentionally supports all Trans people.

How are we doing it?

Supporting Trans people directly

Trans people, especially Disabled Queer and Trans People of Color are among the most impacted by systemic oppression and inequality. We work to ensure that our community has access to the most basic of needs by facilitating emergency food and gender-affirming clothing deliveries, transportation to safe shelter, and more.

Get Help

We're calling folks in. Are you listening?

Trans Empowerment Project is launching a cohort for partners who are committed to being actual helpers in building authentic power and support for the Trans community, by learning how to center Disabled QTIPOC in all of our work.

This program is designed to provide our partners with the tools and resources to learn how to actually, authentically build power for this community, for an actually equitable future. Be better supporters, by following our lead.

Reclaiming our power

Part of what is keeping our community oppressed is that we are not the ones in charge of our own stories. Instead, misinformation is used to silence us as we are also excluded from having our voices amplified as part of the community narrative. It’s time to change that.
