<div>Dear Community,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With hearts full of love, pride, and determination, we turn to you once again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div><strong>Why a Van? Why Now?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>HIV &amp; STI testing kits
</li>
<li>Harm reduction and prevention supplies
</li>
<li>Food, hygiene, and mutual aid resources
</li>
<li>Love, support, and dignity
</li>
<li>It will be more than a vehicle.
</li>
<li>It will be a lifeline.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This campaign will fund:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>A reliable, accessible van
</li>
<li>️Insurance, maintenance, and safety equipment
</li>
<li>A community-designed wrap honoring Lorena Borjas
</li>
<li>Ongoing supplies for street outreach
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why It Matters</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Keep Lorena’s Legacy Rolling
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s honor Lorena not just with words, but with action.
</div>
<div>Let’s build the future she dreamed of—one where no one is left behind.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Donate today. Share our campaign. Fuel the wheels of dignity and resistance.</strong>
