If the shock of the election has worn off a bit and you're asking yourself what to do now, here is a good place to start.

I'm embarrassed to say that I just recently found out about the Transgender Unity Coalition (TUC). This is a Michigan-based group that is "a transgender advocacy non-profit that aims to empower the transgender community in America."

Transgender Unity Coalition

What that means in concrete terms is that they are actually trying to set and accomplish real-world goals that benefit our community. They don't just talk about what we can do as trans individuals or as a community as a whole. They are making serious efforts to change the environment in which we live to make our lives more livable.

I posted earlier about the meetings they are holding in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti this Saturday, Nov. 9, 2024. Please scroll down to my last posting for more details.

They have also posted a YouTube video concerning Michigan House Bills 5300-5303. This package of bills will make changing your name on your driver's license and other legal documents easier in the state of Michigan.

I'm happy to note that TUC has a strong online presence, with not just a website, but pages on virtually every social media platform.

I do want to point out one page on their site that you should visit. It is their "Ways to get involved" page, and it details the various volunteer roles they are trying to fill and how you can help them out personally.

I am contacting them right after writing this post to offer my own services. If you are able, I hope you do the same.

Like the motto on our banner says: WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER! And coming together as a united political front is one way to prove that.
