Come "Party with a Purpose" this Pride to raise money for trans equity while having a blast! Safe space for LGBTQ+ community and allies. To get your tickets click HERE

Being able to obtain identification that reflects your true identity should be a given for all of us, but for many people in transition, this a complicated and often expensive legal process. Trans folks seeking to change their name and gender marker on official government records typically face cost of over $600 in total (compared with $15 for those changing their name at marriage and $100 at any other time). Unfortunately, the job discrimination and isolation from support networks faced by all too many trans people simply put this basic necessity out of reach for many, creating situations that range from awkward to outright dangerous whenever they show their ID. Please join Out in Santa Monica in partying with a purpose--raising money for these legal fees, meeting great people (or old friends!), and having a fabulous time!

Can't make the Happy Hour but want to support? Donate to the Trans Equity Scholarship through our fiscal sponsor, Church in Ocean Park by choosing "Trans Equity Scholarship" on the donation form.
