Join the TJA's Monthly Giving Community

I'm raising money for the Trans Journalists Association, the only trans-led organization of gender-expansive journalists in the U.S.

Over the years, I’ve seen TJA work relentlessly towards its two goals: fostering the careers of gender-expansive journalists and promoting accurate coverage of trans communities in the media.

TJA leadership has done incredible work in its short five years of existence. Not only do I love the work TJA is doing, I’ve benefited greatly from their resources. To give back, I volunteer my time to mentor TJA early-career members. And now I’m raising money for one of my favorite professional journalist organizations.

The annual Trans Rights Readathon is happening right now, leading up to Transgender Day of Visibility on March 31. I’m participating and asking you to help me raise $1,000 — one for each page of my readathon goal — to support the essential work of the Trans Journalists Association.

We need TJA now more than ever. The onslaught of attacks on trans people has only escalated since President Donald Trump started his second term, with one of his first executive orders essentially deleting all mentions of trans people from federal materials. This has affected national parks, domestic violence nonprofits who rely on grants from the Department of Justice, and any trans person trying to get an accurate passport.

You can make a one-time donation to support TJA or commit to monthly giving, which helps the organization plan for the future. (Almost all of my donations to media outlets are monthly because I know how helpful it is to small teams!)
