The new #BTTF Doll/Shark blankets came out hella sexy! 😍 Just in time for snuggle weather. Shoutout to @terrell.villiers for this fab design 😌💜

Get this and other fun @bttfresources merch at the link in bio! 100% of proceeds support our mutual aid programs for Black trans folks ✊🏾

Should we make separate Shark and Doll merch or do we love the T4T set?

The #NationalTransVisibilityMarch is right around the corner, and this year many of our siblings will be in San Juan, Puerto Rico! Trans Liberation remains a global struggle, and I will continue to amplify the importance of international solidarity. I hope this convening brings blessed fruit for our local trans kin on the island. FREE PUERTO RICO! ✊🏾🇵🇷

I had the honor of receiving #TheTorchAwards by @ntvmarch in 2023 for the work Black Trans Travel Fund has been doing for years to bring resources to our Black trans siblings locally & abroad ✈️ Here’s a piece of that acceptance speech talking about how deeply our struggles are interconnected. Thank you for seeing me and BTTF’s work. 🙏🏽 Many blessings to all of the organizers bringing our people together and working to keep our community safe. 💕 by @bttfresources

We say none of us are free until all of us are free.

But liberation language means very little if the people most impacted by cages, criminalization, and state violence are only remembered in theory.

Black trans people do not stop being our community because they are incarcerated.

They are still worthy of care.
Still worthy of correspondence.
Still worthy of spiritual covering.
Still worthy of political commitment.
Still worthy of being remembered.

This Saturday, Reuniting of African Descendants (ROAD) joins Black Trans Travel Fund, Arm The Dollz, Black Trans Media, F2L Network, Sylvia Rivera Law Project, and community partners for A Black August Teach-In & Letter Writing Workshop in Solidarity with Incarcerated Trans People.

Together, we will gather to study the history and political meaning of Black August, ground ourselves in community, write to incarcerated trans people, share resources, and practice a solidarity that does not end at the prison wall.

Because abolition cannot only be something we say.

It has to shape who we remember, who we reach for, and who we refuse to let the state disappear.

Saturday, August 29
3–5 PM
The Free Black Women’s Library, Brooklyn

Free food. Free books. Free masks. Political education. Letter writing. Community care.

Come ready to learn.
Come ready to write.
Come ready to remember.

Our people are still our people, wherever the state has placed them.
