Lavender Phoenix

Build Trans & Queer Asian and Pacific Islander POWER With Lavender Phoenix!

🙌 Lavender Phoenix (FKA "APIENC") is raising $5,000 to grow our work. 🙌

We need YOUR help!

This year, our community faces a turning point. The rising Right is attacking everything transgender and queer APIs need to survive — our safety, our healthcare, our humanity. So many of us have been made to feel helpless.

Through all this, we at Lavender Phoenix we are determined to fight back with care, action, and collective power.

Lavender Phoenix is strengthening our communities by continuing to offer our peer counseling program led by and for trans APIs, expanding community safety through de-escalation and crisis-response trainings, growing new leaders through our transformative Summer Organizer Program, and so much more.

Our staff & members are leading transformative work. But to ensure this work can last in the face of countless attacks, we need everyone. Will you DONATE TODAY and help us rise to NEW HEIGHTS? You can donate:
