It’s 2024 and trans rights and lives are still being threatened and we’re facing an election between two old white cis men who don’t care about anyone, let alone the trans and non-binary community. Things are particularly fraught for trans people of color, which is why I’m raising $500 dollars for Brave Space Alliance.

Brave Space Alliance is a Black-led, Trans-led, LGBTQ+ Center in Hyde Park, Chicago, and they do amazing work for the trans community in south side. I believe they are only the trans inclusive and supporting LGBTQ+ organization in all of south side Chicago, making them a vital pillar in our community.

I am pledging to read 10 books between March 22-29, which a stretch goal of 15 books in total. I’m asking you to help me raise $500 for this amazing organization by either making a one time donation or pledging a certain amount for each book I read. Every little bit truly helps!
