I am a Black Trans Woman raising funds to seek political asylum outside of the United States.

Hello, my name is Ro, I am a 32 year-old Black Trans Woman from Minnesota. In the wake of ICE's Operation Metro Surge, and the upcoming midterm elections, this administration has made it clear they don't believe I have a right to exist. I am looking for your help to prove them wrong.

The average life expectancy of a Black Trans Woman in the United States is 35 years. I don't want to die in the next 3 years.

I am a career musician working in IT, living paycheck to paycheck, with an average amount of debt. I am willing to continue to work hard to make my budgetary goal by myself, as much as I can, but I really need your help.

My travel costs, debts, and a 6-month savings total $11,000. I understand this is a huge ask, considering the state of the economy, but between my labor and your willingness to share my story, I fully believe we can reach liberation together.
