The fundraiser kicked off on March 31 — International Transgender Day of Visibility — and by April 10, more than $672,000 had been raised by 5,300 individuals, according to Pledge.
"There are some incredible nonprofits out there, but they need the funding to achieve their mission," Citron said.In Tucson, the money will allow Southern Arizona Gender Alliance to create a more sustainable organization, said SAGA co-executive director and healing justice director Abundance Zaddy, who previously went by the name Tyrell Blacquemoss.
But in 2019, SAGA's board realized it wasn't serving transgender and gender-nonconforming people of color to the extent it could be, so it shifted up the board and made some hiring changes. Zaddy's role with the group expanded to teaching Black youth about herbalism and a short time later, he took over programming for the group. With years of experience working with nonprofits, it seemed like the perfect fit.
The bills include bans on transgender youth playing sports or using bathrooms and locker rooms based on their gender identity, bans on doctors providing medically necessary and legal gender affirming care, and book bans and style laws restricting LGBTQ+ curriculum in schools, according to the HRC. In late March they received an email from Shauna Nep, executive director of the Braun Foundation and vice president of philanthropy for SB Projects, nonprofits started by Grande's manager, Scooter Braun.
Since January 2013, at least 304 transgender and gender nonconforming individuals have been victims of fatal violence, according to the Human Rights Coalition. The pair went to work managing their feelings and following up with the celebrities who had posted support on social media, including Laverne Cox and Elliot Page.
