Tanya Will Kick Cancer's Ass AGAIN!
Donation protected
We are writing you today to ask for your support for an amazing leader in our community, a longtime organizer and a current Board Member of the Audre Lorde Project, Tanya Walker.
In 2014 we came together to support Tanya as she battled lung cancer and we are asking that you once again show your support as Tanya battles lung cancer for the second time.
Tanya has been an organizer and activist in New York City for over 20 years. Tanya has been advocating for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Two Spirit and Gender Non-Conforming people since her days as a student at Staten Island College. She has been a long time member and worked on the Welfare Campaign with TransJustice at the Audre Lorde Project; lobbied to get the Gender Employment Non-Discrimination Act passed with Housing Works; raised awareness of Trans People of Color Issues at the LGBT working group during Occupy Wall Street, as well as contributed her time, energy and efforts to many more campaigns and organizations across the city. As an Board Member for the Audre Lorde Project, Tanya has helped spearhead our Grassroots Fundraising efforts and been key to our programatic growth and development over the last several years.
On March 23rd, Tanya will be going into surgery to have a tumor removed. While she is in recovery, she is going to need funds to help pay her rent, cover groceries, travel to and from doctors appointments, place her car in a safe location, and ensure that her health needs are taken care of.
We want to honor, celebrate and support our own community member and show up for her on this journey, as much as it is ours, to make sure she gets the quality care, support and treatment that she deserves. Tanya's well being is connected to all of our well being.
We know that together, we can raise the $6,000 to cover these expenses and throw down for an amazing community member who has given so much of her time and energy to our community and the movement. Please consider donating and show your love and support to our comrade as she kicks cancer in the ass again!
