Transanta - transanta.com

Right now, young trans people, particularly Black and Brown trans youth, are under attack across the country and around the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated unsafe conditions for trans youth who are houseless, in foster care, in detention, and in abusive or otherwise unsafe housing situations.

We want to show trans young people that they are loved, supported, and have a family of people around the world who care about them and want them to succeed.

Anyone can be a Santa, join us!
