I've been asked by a lot of cis folks about what you can do to help. So I'm going to create a thread detailing the ways you can get involved and help trans folks in Texas.

DONATE: I've compiled a list of orgs to donate to that will support the trans community in Texas and trans folks generally. These orgs need the funds to do lifesaving work.

SPREAD THE WORD: Tell everyone you can about what is happening in Texas. A big problem is the lack of awareness. The media has been woefully lacking in reporting the unprecedented attacks on trans kids. Bring it up in conversations with friends and family.

SUPPORT TRANS FOLKS: If you know someone trans, be there for them as a friend. It is an incredibly difficult time for us all. Offer to buy them a burrito or just check in to see how they are doing.

GET ACTIVE: We need cis allies to write and call legislators to oppose all of the hateful bills. Volunteer your time with local LGBTQ orgs. It shouldn['t fall just to trans folks to fight for our right to exist.

STAY INFORMED: If you were surprised by the news in Texas you need to follow more trans activists to stay informed.
