If I had $25,000 dollars of cash I could donate to any one Seattle-area non-profit organization I would choose the “Gender Justice League” I mainly chose a organization that was queer aligned and choose one around helping transgender people. I’ve received help from queer centric organizations in the past and donate back to them but being able to gift a large sum of money like that would be phenomenal.

A little bit more about Gender Justice League, not only doe’s the bulk of the organization advocate for trans rights by regularly advocating for trans rights in anyway they can, they also offer direct services, and safe trans places for those in need. Gender Justice League even fights against growing Seattle issues like gentrification, homelessness and housing accessibility, reproductive justice, labor rights, and unemployment.

I think it’s is super important that a trans person should get the basic care they need like medication, medical procedures, therapy, housing, food. Like all basic needs in life, a person should never be denied the bare minimum to simply exists with a healthy state of mind. It’s thanks to organizations like Gender Justice League that these rights are fought through activism or even provided. With organizations like these trans folk down on their luck and in need can get the help they need without being treated like an outsider or worse.

I would love to be able to help an organization like the Gender Justice League in their effort to make a better world for other trans people like myself. Not only would the money help the organization go a long way in offering more services and help to others in need, it would in turn be helping a core community of Capitol Hill and more. Capitol Hill has had a thriving queer community thanks to caring people but also because of helpful non-profit organizations too.
