The work of trans justice goes beyond any election cycle. Our communities must stay in formation, connected and rooted in fostering change. Welcome to our table, a site for deep connection, healing and political education.

Join us for "Get In Formation: Resistance Lessons From Emerging Grassroots Organizing" on June 4, 1pm to 2pm EST! In this session, attendees will hear directly from visionaries representing newer formations and their recipes for getting free!

TJFP’s bread and butter is seeding emergence and showing up for grassroots organizations, groups, and entities that don’t have access to traditional funding and philanthropic infrastructures yet are making a way out to better the lives of trans communities.

These groups provide some of the most life-saving and life-affirming work to trans people, and TJFP wants to be on the frontlines of seeing and resourcing their emergence.
