The trans community needs your support.
As a trans and nonbinary artist, the needs and fears of the trans community are always at the forefront of my mind. I am a firm believer in the power of community, so I’ve filled this page of my website with ways to enact positive change immediately.
Trans Allyship Zine
I designed a zine titled “10 Low Effort Ways to be a Trans Ally in Less than 30 Minutes”. It is free to download, print, and distribute in your community. Click the image to the right to download a pdf copy of the zine. You can find the folding instructions further down on this page.
Suggestions for sharing this zine:
Pass out copies at a local pride event
Leave copies out on a table at your office
Ask local businesses for permission to leave copies on a community bulletin board or by their registers
Share on your social media pages so that it can be spread even further
