Donate your loyalty points and miles to help survivors shelter-in-place safely
If you are in need of shelter support, please contact us and we will do our best to connect you with resources. Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence are experiencing intensified abuse while trapped with their abusers at home under “stay-safer-at-home” mandates...
Tomorrow is #GivingTuesday, the perfect day to take action in support of trans and non-binary survivors of violence. 50-66% of trans people experience sexual violence. Over 50% have experienced intimate partner violence. Others have also experienced additional forms of violence like stalking, bullying, and hate-motivated crimes. All too often, trans survivors don’t have access to the individualized care they need to heal. .
FORGE is working hard every day to change that, to help create pathways for trans and non-binary individuals to receive the care they need. If you, too, believe survivors of all genders deserve equal care, donate through this link: forge.tips/3lp6Cpc. Your support makes a real difference.
