Collective Action

"Disaster Relief for Lebanese Transgender Community" was created to raise funds and help those of concern affected following the Beirut port explosion

We are a group of mainly Lebanese Trans and non-binary folks and their friends who are connected between Beirut and Berlin. Our aim is to raise basic funds to support unemployed Transgender and non-binary individuals in Beirut with whom we are connected. 

The 4th of August disastrous explosion that caused over 350.000 to become homeless, is hitting the Transgender and non-binary community specially hard. This explosion is happening in the middle of a horrendous economic crisis, a pandemic, a corrupt government lead by criminals and more.  

Being Transgender/nonbinary and not legally employed makes it impossible to access health care, save work, masks, food, sleeping places and more. More so in the aftermath of this catastrophe and disaster and the dire overall economic situation. 

This is a Disaster Relief, an Emergency Aid fund that will solve immediate issues, it will provide shelter, food, medicine, transportation and more.
