QTPOC Survivor-Advocates to the Front: A demonstration project for resourcing existing community-based survivor-advocate networks

While mainstream agencies labor to be more queer and trans inclusive, queer and trans survivors of color are already organized within our own communities with critical perspectives on harm reduction, survivor care, mutual, aid, and violence prevention. The QTPOC Survivor-Advocates Project is a model for channeling resources traditionally reserved for mainstream victims’ services organizations into the hands of queer and trans survivors of color to fortify and amplify their organizing ability.
