Are you still going to do a fundraiser for an transfeminine person?

Yes and we are also in the process of a fundraiser with a trans woman names Raine! Check out her fundraiser here and/or buy an End Transmisogyny Sticker Pack to support her here! 

We are also still looking for an AMAB nonbinary sponsor for our Nonbinary Fund! Through this fund we have raised a little over $500 in the last couple of weeks, it’s now just a matter of finding the right sponsor! 

If you or someone you know meet our criteria for fundraising, check out our application here!

Our End Transmisogyny Stickers are the official dedicated design for our still ongoing Support Raine fundraiser! Buying one or boosting posts like these, can go a long way towards helping out!

What these stickers being a dedicated design means is that all profits not spent towards keeping the stickers in stock will be donated to Raine’s campaign. 

We’ve made great progress so far, starting with the launch of her campaign, but we still have a lot more to do!  Thank you so much for all your support so far. Thank you for following us here, liking our posts, signal boosting our causes, and for caring just as much as we do about the community.

January 18th saw the launch of our Support Raine fundraiser, which is dedicated to raising money towards Raine’s gender therapy and hormones. While her campaign will have its own unique dedicated design, the launch is part of a cooperative effort on the part of @waystoraise and several other brands each donating a product to a single prize basket.

For every $5 dollars donated to her YouCaring you will receive a ticket that gives you a chance to win the items in the basket. Over the next two months, until the launch’s conclusion on March 7th we’ll be highlighting one of the brands that has partnered with us to put this basket together for Raine. This week we’ll be featuring: Selfmade Mfg Co. 

Selfmade Manufacturing Company launched in 2015 in Los Angeles, CA as a way to give back to the community. They’re an independent, premium clothing co-op brand for anyone who identifies as self made. They aspire to evoke strength, show pride, inspire courage, and create community. Shop here. 

Prize from Selfmade: The Mason T-shirt

Support Sunday: Raine

Every Sunday until her Campaign’s completion, we’re going to do our best to include a little something about Raine here so you can get to know her as you spread the word about her fundraiser and contribute to it.

Remember that until March 7th every $5 donated to her YouCaring enters you in a drawing to win a prize basket of items contributed by Ways2Raise and other community brands. You can find out more in the original post for Raine’s Campaign.

What are your plans for the future? Let's see. In the near future (after I recover from this really bad flu) is to set up an appointment to begin therapy. In the long term, I hope to write a play and to devote myself to writing a series of stories I've been working on for the last 10 years.

What sorts of things do you like to read? Regarding what I like to read, my favorite books are "Animal Farm" by George Orwell, "The Picture if Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde, and "The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside the Room, The Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made" by Greg Sestero. Other than that, I love science and tech journals Harry Potter. Basically, anything I can get my hands on.

What are the things you're most passionate about?  I'm passionate about the arts in general (film, television, music, theatre, food, etc.), Social Justice (I volunteer with many local organizations as I'm able), Sex education and destigmatizing/demystifying sex and sexuality.
