"A little while ago, our friends & partners at the Grand Rapids Trans Foundation shared that they are struggling financially and needed our community to show up.

If you saw their message, you may have noticed they hinted they weren’t the
only ones struggling... and that another plea was coming.

This is that plea."

Please, listen to this important message from the Executive Director of the Grand Rapids Pride Center, Jazz McKinney.
