40 & Fighting for Democracy

Donation protected
I do political work in and out of drag all over the country—giving speeches, hosting rallies, and showing up for our democracy. I don’t get paid for it. Every trip, every hotel, every costume and wig I wear for these events—I cover out of my own pocket.

I show up because when I do, other people who might not normally come out show up too. They learn something, they feel the energy of community, and that spark becomes contagious. My gift is meeting people where they are—mixing drag, politics, and culture to break things down so everyone can understand what’s going on and feel empowered to act.

Over the past year, I’ve poured my heart (and my own money) into showing up in drag for democracy—rallies, speeches, content, and conversations that help make politics a little less scary and a lot more accessible.

My goal for this next year is to make political content full-time. Politics doesn’t have to be boring—it can be engaging, entertaining, and something people actually connect with. By infusing drag, culture, and pop culture, I can break things down so everyone understands what’s at stake and feels empowered to act. This is how I help people, and this is what I love.

For my birthday this year, instead of gifts, I’m asking for help covering the travel, lodging, and materials that keep this important activism alive. Every donation helps me say “yes” to the opportunities that matter most—whether it’s a rally, a march, or creating political drag content—and makes it easier for me to keep showing up where it matters most.

I’ve always been transparent about where donations go, and I’ll keep posting updates when I travel or take on new opportunities so you can see exactly how your support fuels this work.

This is my dream, and putting it out here is one step closer to making it real. If you’ve ever been moved by my work, laughed at my content, or felt a spark of empowerment, I hope you’ll consider contributing to my GoFundMe. Every donation is fuel to keep this alive and help me keep saying yes to the opportunities that matter most.

And hey—if GoFundMe feels like too much of a pain in the ass, my Venmo is @thebritafilter. Think of it as the express lane for funding wigs and democracy.

Let’s make this year the one where politics becomes accessible, engaging, and undeniable—for all of us.
