Supporting LGBTQ+ youth in Arizona is not just an act of compassion—it’s a critical investment in their mental health, safety, and future. According to The Trevor Project, nearly half of LGBTQ+ youth in Arizona have seriously considered suicide, with 16% attempting it in 2022 . These alarming statistics underscore the urgent need for affirming spaces and community support. Organizations like one·n·ten provide safe environments where LGBTQ+ youth can connect, access mental health resources, and develop life skills . Moreover, GLSEN Arizona works to create inclusive educational settings by supporting Gay-Straight Alliances and advocating for LGBTQ+ inclusive curricula . By supporting LGBTQ+ youth in Arizona, we help build a society where all young people can thrive authentically and without fear.This is for all the trans kids living in fear of a non existent future for them.

Dear Community,

With hearts full of love, pride, and determination, we turn to you once again.

For over a decade, the Colectivo Intercultural TRANSgrediendo (CITG) has been on the frontlines, uplifting and defending the lives of TransGNB people, sex workers, migrants, and QTBIPOC communities in New York City. We do this in honor of Lorena Borjas, our founder, a fierce activist, mother to many, and an unstoppable force for justice.

Lorena walked the streets of Queens offering food, HIV testing, hormones, a safe word, or simply love. Today, we continue that work supporting over 700 community members with health services, outreach, hot meals, mutual aid, and unwavering solidarity. But we need your help.

Why a Van? Why Now?

We are launching a bold campaign to buy our first outreach van—a mobile community resource that will allow us to expand Lorena’s legacy across NYC. This van will carry:

This campaign will fund:

Your donation no matter the size makes a direct impact. Every dollar brings us closer to reaching more people, in more places, with the services and care they deserve.

Why It Matters

We are the only Trans-Latinx, migrant, sex worker-led organization of its kind in NYC. We know our people because we are our people.

In a time when anti-trans and anti-migrant violence is escalating, your support helps us stay on the ground, literally, and continue to protect, empower, and transform lives—one block at a time.

Keep Lorena’s Legacy Rolling

Let’s honor Lorena not just with words, but with action.

Let’s build the future she dreamed of—one where no one is left behind.

Donate today. Share our campaign. Fuel the wheels of dignity and resistance.
