Take Action
Donations
All donations go directly to each nonprofit’s portal. By clicking on the links below, you will be directed to the Trans America Ride Team Pages to make a donation. Because of that there are two separate links. Please consider donating to both.
The Trevor Project
Suicide is the second leading cause of death for all young people. Lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth are more than four times more likely to attempt suicide than their straight peers, and nearly half of all transgender people have attempted suicide — many before the age of 25. LGBTQ+ young people are also far more likely to be victims of sexual violence and bullying than their cisgender peers. The Trevor Project provides counseling and support 24/7, 365 days a year, as well as research, advocacy, education, and peer support. They also offer excellent resources allyship, sexual orientation, gender identity, mental health and many more.
Lambda Legal
Full citizenship in America is more than a box to check on a form. It’s being able to live freely and openly everywhere you go. It’s feeling safe at school and work. It’s being able to seek medical care without discrimination or violence. It’s being treated with respect and dignity by law enforcement officers and others throughout the justice system. But at every stage of life, LGTBQ+ people and those living with HIV confront barriers to equality under the law. That’s why, for five decades and counting, Lambda Legal has stood up to defend our community’s rights. Lambda Legal works on policymaking as well as offering legal services in several key areas including: employment, fair courts, family protections, health care, HIV, immigration, criminal legal system and police misconduct, religious exemptions, seniors, students’ rights, transgender and nonbinary rights, and youth.
Sponsorship
Help make this ride a success by becoming a sponsor. The goal is for every dollar donated to go towards The Trevor Project and Lambda Legal. By sponsoring the ride (with bike/camping gear, apparel, meals, lodging, PR, etc.), you can make that goal a reality.
