Come celebrate the beauty and expansiveness of the trans community at our Trans Grief + Joy Open Mic Night—a space to honor your multi-faceted trans experience and release some of what you’ve been holding, in community.

Share your songs, poems, stories, laughter, tears, or whatever is on your heart. Trans, nonbinary, two-spirit, and gender expansive folks are encouraged to perform—and allies and community members are welcome to attend. This event is open and welcoming to all.

Support Trans Wellbeing 🏳️‍⚧️
Trans Grief + Joy Open Mic is a fundraiser for TACT (Trans Advocacy & Care Team). We ask for $5–$20 sliding-scale at the door—and no one will be turned away for lack of funds. 50% of proceeds are donated to TACT. Learn more, access free peer counseling, volunteer, or donate at yourtact.org.

For Performers 🎤
Sign-ups are at the door from 6–6:30 PM—performances start at 6:30. Each performer gets up to 5 minutes. All topics, genres, and forms of expression are welcome. This is a supportive space where every voice is honored. You belong here.

WE DID IT! 🎉

Because of you, we raised $7,275 for trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive folks to get the support they need to get connected to community, find a sense of belonging, and live their authentic selves.

Your donations are the reason TACT can continue providing 1-on-1 peer counseling sessions, trans-led support groups, and resource navigation for gender-affirming care, mental health care, and life-saving support. 🫂

Because of you, we have hope. Our collective action and strength in this community is our fuel—it is what keeps us moving forward.

Together, we have real, transformative power to make a real change for trans lives. And your support proves it.🩵 Let's keep the momentum going this new year!

From the bottom of our hearts here at TACT, we thank you, immensely, for standing with us. Here's to a new year full of an abundance of love, support, and care for all trans people. 🩷✊🏽
