Hey everyone,
My name is Joshua and I am on the board of Somos Familia.
A bit about Somos Familia: it is a community-based organization founded 11 years ago by two moms who wanted to make the world safer and more accepting of our Latinx Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) youth and their families.
I know that during Covid we need to find new ways to survive and maintain our mental health. Over the last 9 months, Somos Familia has:
- Provided 32 Rapid Response grants to LGBTQ+ individuals and families that support them that have been impacted by COVID-19, representing $16K.
- Began a monthly Spanish-language peer support group by and for Latinx trans men - the first of its kind in the Bay Area.
- Created a bilingual educational Zine about Genderhttps://issuu.com/somosfamiliabay/docs/zine_revised
Today I am asking you to donate to the cause of Somos so that we can continue with our mission to build leadership in our Latinx families and communities to create a culture where people of diverse genders and sexual orientations can thrive.
