Together, We're Building the future We all deserve
A clothing rack. A stack of flyers. A group chat full of people ready to give a damn.
We can build something with that.
Across the country, people are trying to push 2Spirit, Trans, Intersex, and Gender Expansive (2TIGE) people out of public life. We’re bringing them together to make sure our communities have what we need to live, create, and thrive!
Want in? Let’s organize, together!
Make some noise. Grow some power.
Big change can start in your neighborhood.
Host a clothing swap where someone finds an outfit that finally feels like them. Join a street team and remind your town that Trans people belong everywhere. Bring your friends together to learn, fundraise, or take action.
Organizing means getting people together around something that needs to change, making a plan, and following through.
You don’t need a fancy title or a thousand followers. You need a willingness to learn, some people to connect with, and something you’re ready to do.
Bring your ideas. We’ll help you build.
Bring your ideas. We’ll help you build.
Maybe you’ve never organized anything. Maybe you’re already the person rallying your friends and want to make that energy go further.
TEP offers training, tools, and a community of people figuring it out together. Learn how to turn an idea into a plan, invite people into the work, and build something they want to keep showing up for.
Disabled 2TIGE people of color belong at the center of this work. That means making access part of the plan, confronting racism, and sharing power with the people most affected.
Showing up is a practice.
It means choosing an action you can realistically carry out. Making the invites. Completing the training. Keeping people updated. Following through on what you agreed to do.
It also means telling us when your capacity changes so we can adjust together. Rest and disability are part of our lives. We can build around that when we communicate.
Bring a commitment you can keep. We’ll grow from there.
There should be joy in this, too.
Music at the clothing swap. New friends making flyers around a kitchen table. That first “holy shit, we actually did it” moment.
We’re building a future we want to live in. There’s room for laughter, creativity, and a little glorious weirdness along the way.

Clothing Swaps Save Lives (We Said What We Said)
Clothing is something a lot of people take for granted. You walk into a store, grab your size, maybe try something on, maybe not, and move on with your day. But for 2TIGE folks, it’s rarely that simple. For many of us, clothing is tied up in dysphoria, safety, access,...
