ABOUT ABOUT

CONCERT POSTPONED due to the recent rapid rised of COVID-19 transmissions. Rescheduled date to be announced soon! We are still accepting donations on our ticketing page!

 

Merry Transmas! Join us for a night of celebration and fellowship! This will be a special evening to bring together the community as we reflect over the events of 2021 with our chosen family—our sisters, brothers, and gender non-conforming siblings.

All proceeds will go to two benefiting organizations: Black Trans Liberation and For the Gworls. These organizations were founded and are led by Black trans women. 

Black Trans Liberation, an NYC organization founded by Qween Jean, aims to end the houseless crisis in trans communities. By keeping trans people off the street, we can dismantle the current 35 year life expectancy of Black Trans people and prevent systemic oppression. Working with community partners, we empower and celebrate the TGNC community.

For the Gworls is a collective hosted by Assani Armon which started out as a fundraising party to help two trans femmes from getting evicted. They provide financial assistance for rent, co-pays for medicines/doctor’s visits, travel assistance, and gender-affirming surgeries to members of the transgender community.

Please Note:
