April 2022 IS STONEWALL CHICO TRANS MONTH
Join us in honoring the legacy of Transgender Day of Visibility through a month filled of community events, panels, trainings and joyful celebrations!
These events are free and open to all Trans* community members and their allies.
This Trans Month, Please Consider Donating to our QT*POC Direct Aid Fund
Stonewall Alliance QT*POC Direct Aid Fund is meant to provide assistance to those who have been most impacted by institutional violence and racism including those who are Black, Brown, Indigenous, Trans*, non-binary, undocumented, Two-Spirit, asylum-seeking, and sex workers in Butte County and surrounding areas.
Queer and Trans* People of Color (QT*POC) have long been at the forefront of the fight for rights, justice, and dignity across our communities and across the world. The very movement we call Pride, is a movement that was fought for by Black and Brown, Trans* and Queer People of Color who stood up to institutional violence. And yet, queer and trans* Black people, Indigenous people, and people of color face the most barriers to accessing services and care.
We will provide funds as available, and in relation to the other requests received based on urgency, and amount of requests. We hope to provide one-time assistance for something you are needing right away, and may or may not be able to cover larger costs.
YOUR Name, YouR choICE.
