As Trans Awareness Week comes to a close, we’re sharing a small but powerful list of services that uplift our community in a BIG way... From health care to name change services, mental health support, and more, these programs are vital for growth, well-being, and helping our community thrive in the face of adversity. Let’s remember to practice self-care, look out for one another, and keep showing up for each other - today & every day, now more than ever! With love, DVLF ?? ??

Today, we pause to remember and honor those we’ve lost. Every name, every life, every story matters deeply. On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we stand together, committed to the fight for equality and justice. ??
