Black Trans Travel Fund

The Black Trans Travel Fund is a mutual-aid project developed in order to help provide Black transgender women with the financial resources needed to be able to self-determine safer alternatives to travel, where women feel less likely to experience verbal harassment or physical harm. This project was created out of direct response to the relentless and unacceptable violence Black transgender women across the country have been experiencing. We are currently providing our service to Black trans women in New York and New Jersey, and will be working to expand our efforts to other states soon!

This is a direct call to action for allies to be able to leverage their resources and make a tangible difference in the lives of Black trans women.

Donated funds are distributed directly to Black trans women need, who can then purchase private car ride services from companies such as Uber, Lyft, or other alternatives of their choosing that best suit their feelings and needs. To donate, you can send funds directly through the following options:

Cashapp: $BlackTransTravelFund

Venmo: @BlackTransTravelFund

Paypal: BlackTransTravelFund@gmail.com

Paetron coming soon!

(80% of all funds donated are directly redistributed to Black trans women in need, 20% of donated funds go towards labor and administrative costs to keep our program running)
