Dear Friends and Allies,

Today marks the end of Transgender Awareness Week, but it’s not the end of the fight for transgender and non-binary people who deserve to feel safe, accepted, respected, empowered, and seen in a country and world that is dominated by patriarchy.

This week past week, we honored people who are no longer with us on Transgender Day of Remembrance (November 20th), and we reflected on our country’s history of ignoring victims whose lives are taken in acts of transphobic-violence.

We feel fortunate to learn from transgender leaders who are paving the way for a more inclusive country for our transgender friends and family. Every year, we strive to do better at uplifting these voices. Although we strive to create a safe space within our progressive community, we must continue to educate ourselves as an organization, and find ways to be better allies in our personal lives.

For those who do not identify as transgender or non-binary, we encourage you continue supporting policies and promoting values that will help us bend the arc towards justice, equality, and inclusion.

To those who identify as transgender or non-binary: we are listening.

In solidarity,
Barrier To Entry PAC

BARRIER TO ENTRY PAC supports candidates and campaign staff from working class backgrounds as they carve their paths in the Democratic political space. We provide direct cash assistance for essential items like phones, cars, laptops, and living stipends -- which often times, these candidates and their campaigns don't have access to. We also serve as a resource for individual mentorship and training to ensure candidates and their staff feel supported and equipped to enter the political space.

Pitch in today to help provide necessary support and resources for working class candidates today! >>
