Trans Resistance was formed in June 2020 by Athena Vaughn, Chastity Bowick, and a collective of trans and queer activists in the Boston area who built upon years of contention with the Boston Pride board for being trans-exclusionary in their process, vision, and work and failing to equitably represent the magical TQBIPOC community in Boston. The founding members of the Trans Resistance Board are:
President: Athena Vaughn,
Vice President: Jess Frenchy
Treasurer: Chastity Bowick
Clerk/Community Organizer: Sasha Goodfriend
Accessibility Organizer: Casey Dooley
Youth Outreach Organizer: Kamar Porter

We are currently searching for organizers to join our Board of Directors and help us plan the 2nd Annual Trans Resistance March on June 12, 2021 at Franklin Park. Board members are expected to attend monthly board meetings and spend 8-10 hours organizing for Trans Resistance throughout the month. Any more than two unexcused absences from Trans Resistance board meetings will result in possible termination from the board. There will be more volunteer opportunities in the planning committee, launching in January 2021! Sign up to join the volunteer committee here:  https://forms.gle/wfxzPq5n9ECiMJP17
