Mission & History

Tranzmission's mission is to make the lives of transgender, nonbinary, intersex, and gender diverse people happier, healthier, and safer through advocacy, education, and support.

Tranzmission has been dedicated to transgender/nonbinary empowerment since 2001. What started in the 90s as local trans community members helping each other with mutual aid efforts and support has become a regional organization that provides support, education, advocacy, community building, and organizing.

We are a trans-led organization with queer, disabled, and BIPOC leadership. We are intersectional, anti-racist, and anti-ableist. By pairing individual support with community action Tranzmission resources people in need and builds a community that can work towards a stronger future for everyone.
