Losing your bodily autonomy is scarier than any haunted house. In 2023, a chilling reality haunts us. Congress and local legislatures have proposed nearly 600 bills, with an alarming 40% passing rate, that restrict, ban, or attack bodily autonomy. With millions affected and a haunting reality that awaits the 2024 election season, we're fighting back.
Who knew laughter could do so much good? In order to fight against the legislative crisis and continue our work, we’re hosting a fundraiser in New York City and invite you to join us! We invite YOU to join us for a Comedy Show Fundraiser to champion trans rights.
Our lineup includes renowned comedians like Jaye McBride, Laura High, Ely Kreimendahl, Jess Salomon, Sheria Mattis, and more. We aim to raise $60,000 to support our collective efforts in providing accurate resources and promoting legislative engagement.
Your opportunity to support trans rights is here! SHOW UP FOR TRANS RIGHTS! Laughter can be a powerful force for change. Come out for a night of fun, laughter, and advocacy in this joint beneficiary fundraiser comedy show. Let your laughter pave the way to progress! We hope to have you join us on Wednesday, Oct 25th, at 9pm ET!

We're working with two additional INCREDIBLE organizations in NYC to benefit their cause.
One is Trans formative Schools, which is a "a progressive education community centering trans joy and social justice. Our mission is to support trans futures by uplifting the lives of trans children, trans educators, and families touched by transness." Learn more about their incredible work at https://www.transformativeschools.org/.
The other beneficiary organization is The Okra Project. At the Okra Project, they "believe that mutual aid is essential to supporting Black Trans people across the United States. Without social safety nets, mutual aid becomes critical for many in our community, and we are proud to be a part of this vital work." Learn more about their work at https://www.theokraproject.com/.
