Every single day I remind myself that despite any residence in the White House, our country originated on the principal of a government for, by and of the people. Even as federal actions attempt to turn Americans away from the power and purpose of diversity, equity and inclusion, citizens can resist these fear-based efforts.
I'm working with a small group of mystery writers who have created an auction to raise funds for the Transgender Law Center (TLC) in Oakland, CA. The auction is timed to coincide with the Transgender Day of Visibility in March.
TLC is on the front lines in challenging state and federal legislation and policies to remove protections for Trans people. Most of their work is legal advocacy, but they also partner with grassroot groups to provide leadership training for LGBTQI+ youth so they can become their own best advocates. And we applaud the work of this well-respected, 501 c 3 organization.
I hope you'll consider participating in our auction--as a donor or a bidder. Because as state's and our government focuses on Trans erasure, we the people can show our solidarity with a community that needs our allyship and support.
