Some of our PAST PROJECTS:
Our final project, Scars Tell Stories: A Queer and Trans (Dis)ability Zine.
Through poetry, art, and essays, this zine tells our stories—funny, sexy, and complex—as a radical act of resistance, and prioritizes the work of trans people and people of color working for radical social change.
