Transgender Unity Coalition is a US-based transgender advocacy non-profit looking to expand! Hi, I'm Bree, the founder and executive director of TUC. We have been around for just a few months now, but we have gotten a lot done in this short amount of time! From lobbying (successfully) for protection-based laws, to holding multi-hundred attendee irl community events, and more. We have so many services and offerings to the public that I can't squeeze them all into one post.
But I bet you haven't heard of us before, and that's because we are super new. We only have one state chapter in Michigan right now, a true purple state, and we are looking to expand into red states that need our help the most. Our mission is this: empower the transgender community across America. It always has been, even before Trump won the recent election. We will not stop fighting, but we need your help and we need it right now.
We are 100% volunteer-driven from the top down. We have a team of over 40 right now, but we need at least 2,000 strong, or about what we have now in every U.S. state. It sounds ambitious, but keep in mind that with over 2.2 million Americans (minimum) alone belong to our community, 2,000 to represent that number isn't anywhere close, so in any small way, even just occassionally, we can absolutely use your help.
I will also throw in there that our team embraces a work-from-home model, and our behind-the-scenes planning primarily operates through Discord, which has given us a strong sense of culture and community through this digital platform. Our model has proven successful through pass coordination efforts of ours, and we hope to implement it as we continue.
tl;dr Join our team. Please give us a chance, because we are all in this together. You can reach out via email at [email protected] with any questions, or if you want to meet me personally to learn more and see that this is real, schedule something at https://calendly.com/bree-at-tuc and I'll give you that time. It is of my own personal opinion that the time is right now to make a stand and solidify who we are into human history.
