Standing Strong in the Fight for Liberation: A Necessary Shift for Protection and Power

In times of growing uncertainty, where oligarchy, misogyny, patriarchy, transphobia, anti-Blackness, and white supremacy seek to undermine our very existence, we stand unwavering in our mission. We are a Black and trans-led organization rooted in the fight for liberation, protection, stable and secure housing, legal advocacy, decriminalization, and movement-building for Black and Indigenous trans and gender-expansive lives.

We take a necessary and intentional step to protect our people. In the face of increasing threats and systemic violence, we are removing the public visibility of our staff and board to ensure their safety, security, and well-being. This is not a retreat—it is a fortified stance in the battle for justice. Our commitment to our people and our mission remains steadfast. We refuse to allow oppressive forces to compromise our safety or weaken our resolve.

To fight for liberation, we must first ensure the safety of those on the frontlines. This moment is a testament to our resilience and our unwavering belief that Black trans futures are not only possible but inevitable. We are still here. We are still fighting. We are still building the world we deserve—one where we are free, protected, and thriving.

We are not backing down. We are evolving, strengthening, and preparing for the road ahead. The movement continues, and so do we.

In Power, Resistance and Radical Liberation,
