FREE books!
APPLICATIONS CURRENTLY CLOSED : Black Trans Travel Fund's book sponsorship program is a program developed for Black trans women to be able to receive free copies of literature each month. We do this as a part of our commitment to investing in the lives of Black trans women, with a recognition that not only must we continue to pour resources into Black trans communities, but that community engagement in political education is a necessary part of the work required in the fight for Black and trans liberation.
