Lavender Rights Project is a Black Trans-led organization working at the intersection of racial justice and LGBTQ+ liberation, using policy advocacy, community organizing, and systemic change to build a world where Black and gender diverse communities can thrive.
Your generosity frees the organization from common funding restrictions and allows us to better serve our community in crucial ways; however, we must rely more heavily on community-based funding sources and individual donors like you.
By investing in the ability for Black gender diverse community members to protect, assert, and fight for their legal rights, for their right to the pursuit of happiness, we all come closer to true self-determination, autonomy, and resilience.
We are excited to serve our communities, and you can be a part of making the magic happen by making a donation to Lavender Rights Project today.
