Ida DiMarco is a trans woman and jailhouse lawyer incarcerated in New York who has been openly sharing her story for years - of horrendous conditions of incarceration and solitary confinement, and of coming out as trans while incarcerated. She has been studying criminal law for many years from inside, and has long used her knowledge and skills to advocate not just for herself but to assist other people in the system.
Just recently Ida was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma, a type of blood cancer. And after initial medical treatment, she is back at Bedford where she is dealing with egregious conditions including lack of access to food and sanitary needs.
We are fundraising for Ida DiMarco’s immediate needs including:
Hygiene products
Cosmetic products
Clean Clothes
Bedding and towels
Winter Clothing
Healthy Nutricious food
Materials for her work, typewriter, and writing.
As Ida continues her chemotherapy, we seek to raise 5k

TO DONATE TO Ida DeeDee:

Venmo @YAZ-CF and write “Ida” in the memo, OR
Donate to her directly through JPay (Ida DiMarco #22-G-0359, Bedford Hills C.F).

La canción favorita de Valentina en este momento es “Golden,” de KPop Demon Hunters. La escuchó una vez en la radio en una prisión y la letra se le quedó grabada y ahora son una fuente de confianza. Ella necesita esa fortaleza para afrontar los próximos meses.

Valentina es una mujer trans a la que le encanta Lady Gaga, dibujar, y viajar con su esposo. Ella huyó a los Estados Unidos en busca de un futuro más seguro y, al llegar, se le concedió el Estatus de Protección Temporal (TPS). Un año después, tras un altercado injustificado con la agencia de policía local, fue detenida y poco después se le revocó el TPS. En diciembre de 2025, Valentina fue trasladada a custodia del ICE. Ha dado testimonio de los horrores del centro de detención GEO de North Lake Michigan compartiendo su historia con nosotros a través de videos y cartas.

Actualmente, Valentina está a la espera de su deportación, pero ICE no le informa a ella, a su familia ni a su equipo de defensa sobre dónde o cuándo será trasladada fuera del país. Estamos preparando un plan integral de asistencia para despues de su deportación que incluye informacion sobre su viaje, alojamiento, contactos, recursos, planes de contingencia y fondos.

$350 para la reposición acelerada de su pasaporte
$500 para su alojamiento inmediato
$1,000 para su vuelo hacia un lugar seguro
$1,000+ para alimentación, transportación y alojamiento adicional.

Venmo: @ sibling_support

Valentina’s current favorite song is “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters. She heard the song once on a prison radio and the lyrics stuck with her and are a source of confidence. She needs that strength to carry her through the next few months.

Valentina is a trans woman who loves Lady Gaga, drawing, and traveling with her husband. She fled to the US for a safer future and was granted TPS upon arrival. A year later, after an unwarranted interaction with local law enforcement, she was arrested and soon her TPS was revoked. Valentina was transferred to ICE custody in December of 2025. She has testified to the horrors of the North Lake Michigan GEO camp by sharing her story with us over video and letters.

Right now, Valentina is awaiting her deportation but IC by @tqcommunityfund

Recap of our Anti-Carceral Poetics & Letter Writing event. <3 This was such a touching experience, and I remain so so grateful to everyone who showed up and wrote with us. Thank you to my co-organizers @maizymachetepoeta who I would not have been able to do this without, and @tqcommunityfund for the amazing work that they do, and for leading the letter writing activity. Please support their work and donate if you can!

Shout out to the poets @dispatchdena and @ahometoself for bringing their selected readings and amazing poems.

also the way I was so overcome with joy when @ramirezpoet showed up. I love being surprised by my friends.

Thank you Isa for the photos <3 you need an exhibit taken in Mottley Kitchen by @tqcommunityfund

Somos una colectiva de ayuda mutua basada en NYC, apoyando a la gente trans y queer dentro de los centros de detención, ofreciendo apoyo de re-entrada, conectando los recién liberados a socios comunitarios, colectivas, y grupos de apoyo. Aprende mas en tqcommunityfund.com.
Estamos trabajando para proveer apoyo consistente a vecinos Queer y Trans en Texas, Kentucky, Colorado, Florida, y Nueva York.
Ver maneras de apoyarnos:
DONAR
Una llamada telefónica en detención puede costar más de $15. Cargos para depósitos comisarios pueden costar de $7 a $20. Vecinos necesitan fondos de re-entrada para viajar a sus destinos, después de ser deportados a otro país. Esto puede costar más de $100. Vecinos son forzados a buscar fondos para sus tratamientos médicos urgentes, ICE no tiene responsabilidad legal para su cuidado.
SEA VOLUNTARIO
Nuestro grupo de trabajo se reúne mensualmente para hablar sobre nuestras metas de recaudar fondos, buscar recursos, planificar eventos, repasar las solicitudes del mes, y organizar los pasos próximos necesarios.
Escribir cartas es una forma importante en la que podemos apoyar a nuestros vecinos. Esto los mantiene al tanto con la comunidad afuera de la detención, especialmente a nuestros hermanos Trans y Queer que tienen las experiencias más difíciles en la detención. Un intercambio de cartas consistente con un vecino señala que hay gente de fuera que le importa.
Eventos - Siempre estamos buscando voluntarios que nos apoyen en nuestras mesas en eventos comunitarios y que nos ayude en nuestros eventos.
Si quisiera ser voluntario con TQCF en alguna manera, (ahora o en el futuro), por favor escribenos a tqcommunityfund@proton.me para ser añadido a nuestra lista de correo electrónico!

We are a grassroots mutual aid collective based in NYC, supporting Trans and Queer folks inside ICE detentions nationwide and offering re-entry support by connecting recently released neighbors to community partners, collectives and support groups. Learn more at tqcommunityfund.com
We are currently working to provide consistent support to Queer and Trans neighbors in Texas, Kentucky, Colorado, Florida, and New York.
Ways you can support!
DONATE!
A 15-minute phone call in detention can cost upwards of $15.
Commissary deposit fees can range from $7-$20+.
Neighbors need re-entry funds for travel to their next destination, after being deported to a third country (not their country of birth). This can cost $100+.
Neighbors are being forced to find funding for their own urgent medical treatment, as ICE evades legal responsibility of care.
VOLUNTEER
Our Working Group meets monthly to discuss fundraising goals, build our resource library, plan events, recap the requests we have filled over the month and organize any necessary next steps.
Letter Writing is an important way we can help our neighbors inside stay connected with community outside, especially our Trans and Queer siblings who often experience the harshest conditions in detention. Consistent mail exchange with a neighbor signals to detention staff that there are people outside who care.
Events and Tabling – We are often seeking volunteers to table with us at community events and to help work the events that we host.
If you would like to volunteer with TQCF in any of these facets (now or in the future) please reach out at: tqcommunityfund@proton.me to be added to our email list!

About the fund — We are a grassroots, mutual aid fund that seeks to support Trans & Queer folks in ICE detention or who have recently been released from detention.

We believe that all Trans & Queer people are beautiful
We believe that all people deserve care and dignity.
We believe that all prisons should be abolished.

The Trans/Queer Community Fund intends to be part of the movement of grassroots efforts that support people on a daily basis.

When Trans and Queer immigrants arrive in the U.S., they are often without immediate families and support systems.

These neighbors enter a very flawed immigration system that specifically targets them at their uniquely vulnerable intersection of identities.

🦋

Sobre el fondo — Somos un fondo de ayuda mutua que espera apoyar a la gente Trans y Queer en detencion de ICE o que ha sido liberada de la detencion recientemente/

Creemos que toda la gente Trans y Queer son hermosas.
Creemos que todos merecen apoyo y dignidad.
Creemos que todas las carceles deberian de ser abolidas.

El fondo Trans/Queer quiere ser parte de los movimientos que apoyan a la gente diariamente.

Cuando los inmigrantes Trans y Queer llegan a los EEUU, ellos llegan sin familiares y sin sistemas de apoyo.

Estos vecinos entran a un sistema inmigratorio defectuosos, que los ataca especificamente en sus identidades vulnerables. by @tqcommunityfund
