Help Keep Trans & Queer Community Safe, Connected, and Alive

Every day at The Marie Equi Center, queer and trans community members come through our doors looking for something increasingly difficult to find: safety, connection, stability, and care.

For many people, Equi is the first place they are able to rest without fear, access peer support, connect to housing and healthcare systems, take a shower, share a meal, or simply exist fully as themselves in community.

At a time when anti-trans hostility, housing instability, and pressure on safety-net systems continue to rise across the country, culturally specific spaces like Equi are more important than ever.

Sustaining this work requires more than crisis response. It requires long-term community investment in the systems that keep people safe and connected.

Monthly giving helps create the stability that allows Equi to continue showing up for our community every single day. Sustainers help us maintain critical staffing, provide low-barrier support, respond to growing community need, and continue building a future where queer and trans people can survive, stabilize, and thrive.

By becoming a monthly sustainer, you are helping keep queer and trans community members safe, connected, and alive.
