Inked in Solidarity: 12 People, 9 States…and growing

Something really powerful is already happening.

Over the past few days, 12 people across 9 states have signed up to be part of this campaign. Not because they had to. Not because it was convenient. But because they believe in showing up — visibly — for the 2TIGE community.

And honestly? That matters more than ever right now.

We’re living in a time where 2Spirit, Trans, Intersex, and Gender Expansive people are being targeted in very real ways. Policies, rhetoric, and fear are all being used to push folks out of public life. And in the middle of all of that, a lot of people are wondering who actually has their back.

This campaign is one answer to that question.

Why This Matters

“Inked in Solidarity” isn’t just about tattoos. It’s about choosing to be seen in your support.

Because visibility does something that quiet support can’t.

When someone wears their solidarity on their body, it creates moments. Someone asks about it. A conversation starts. A message gets shared that might not have happened otherwise. And for someone in the 2TIGE community who sees that in passing — at a coffee shop, online, walking down the street — it can be a small but powerful reminder:

I’m not alone in this.

That’s the kind of impact we’re building here. Not just a fundraiser, but a ripple effect.

A Growing Movement

Right now, this campaign is already stretching across 9 states.

📍

Each person on that map is choosing to show up in a way that’s visible, lasting, and real. And we’re just at the beginning.

There’s something kind of beautiful about that. People who may never meet, connected by a shared decision to stand with the 2TIGE community in a way that can’t be ignored.

An Invitation

We’re inviting more people to step into this with us over the next few days.

Maybe you’ve been thinking about getting a tattoo for a while.
Maybe you’ve been wondering how to show up in a way that actually feels meaningful.
Maybe you’re just tired of watching what’s happening and want to do something that makes it clear where you stand.
