Trans Grief + Joy Open Mic is a fundraiser for TACT, the Trans Advocacy & Care Team, so we ask for a $5-$20 sliding-scale donation based cover—and no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

You can learn more about TACT’s work, access free peer counseling services, and donate at yourtact.org.

Sign up at the door to perform! Be sure to arrive at 6:30 pm if you’d like to sign up to perform! Each performer will have max 5 mins for their performance, so please ensure that whatever you prepare to share will fit within that time limit.

This will be a supportive and encouraging space where everyone’s expression is honored and valued. All topics, genres, and forms of expression are valid here.

No matter what you plan to bring to the space, we can’t wait to hold space for your joy, grief, and creativity. We are here to witness and support you. You are loved and you belong here!
