2. The Marsha P. Johnson Institute
The Marsha P. Johnson institute defends the rights of Black transgender people.

They do this by organizing, advocating, creating an intentional community to heal, developing transformative leadership, and promoting our collective power.

3. The Black Trans Travel Fund
The Black Trans Travel Fund works on providing resources to black trans women to be able to access safe transportation and travel alternatives.
The Black Trans Travel Fund is a mutual-aid project developed in order to help provide Black transgender women with the financial resources needed to be able to self-determine safer alternatives to travel, where women feel less likely to experience verbal harassment or physical harm. This project was created out of direct response to the relentless and unacceptable violence Black transgender women across the country have been experiencing.
