Hi there, my name is Devin (they/them)! I graduated in 2018 with a degree in social work. I started a membership organization called Trans Rally in June of 2022. It’s since grown to over 300 members around the United States.
Our idea is simple: we want to economically empower people who agree with our beliefs. Our beliefs boil down to trans rights are human rights, Black Lives Matter, personal autonomy is important, humans deserve dignity, and we direct our energy towards lifting up our own.
It’s free to join, if we help our members in substantive ways we hope that they will pay it back to our community by spending time helping others, lending special talents, or by becoming sponsor members at $4 or more per month.
Right now since we’re so young we mostly focus on helping people with resumes and job searches at no cost because it’s high impact. As we become more sustainable, we’ll introduce other things too.
I currently work in financial services as a compliance person because I left the social work field due to the exploitative nature of it. I didn’t want to go into clinical work. But inside, I still consider myself a social worker.
Please AMA! I’m an open book. 🧡
