As Rae's Safe Haven continues to grow, we are excited to share that we have officially received our own 501(c)(3) nonprofit status!

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to The Reading Room CLE for serving as our fiscal sponsor and supporting us during an important stage of our journey. Their guidance and partnership helped us build a strong foundation, and we are incredibly thankful for their belief in our mission.

As we transition to operating independently, we will be migrating our email accounts and digital systems to our own Google Workspace. During this process, some of our email addresses may experience temporary interruptions or delays in communication.

We appreciate your patience as we make this transition and continue building a stronger future for the LGBTQ+ community and all those we serve.

Thank you for your ongoing support of Rae's Safe Haven. We are excited for this next chapter and all that lies ahead! 💜

PRIDE IN THIS YEAR

Pride has always been about survival, about resistance, about making our space.

When we think about the Black trans women who fought back in 1969, let us think about what fighting back looks like now. And remember that our struggles are not new even if we feel them differently in this moment.

Remember that trans and q***r joy is resistance.

Direct attacks and propaganda, aimed at undermining our rights and well-being are creating fear, anxiety, stress and uncertainty. But even in the face of adversity, we remind our community that we are resilient, and our strength is our ability to come together in mutual and creative support for one another.

It is okay to feel joy, fear, and uncertainty at once.

It is crucial that we all
prioritize mutual care for one another, hope, dream of, and demand the future we want, not only our present survival.
