Will you support maintaining and expanding TJA's essential resources and programs? By becoming a recurring donor, you ensure trans journalists have the tools we need in an industry where we are often underrepresented and misrepresented. bit.ly/tja_pride

If looking for somewhere to send some Pride Month donations, might I suggest @transjournalists.org? The TJA is doing incredible work improving trans representation in the media industry and publishes high-quality resources for helping newsrooms report on the trans community fairly and accurately
