TRACTION

The Vision for a Better Trans+ Future We envision a world where trans+ and gender-diverse people are free from discrimination and can live authentically, with our rights protected and our well-being prioritized. We strive for a future where the trans+ community is embraced for our unique identities and experiences, and where we have access to all the resources and support needed to lead fulfilling lives. Our Mission and Work Ahead TRACTION’s mission is to cultivate connection and visibility for trans+ and gender-diverse people through community empowerment projects. We aim to empower and uplift Two-Spirit, trans+, and nonbinary people by creating visibility and providing support through social engagement, outreach, and collaboration with other organizations helping underserved communities in the Pacific Northwest. TRACTION advocates for inclusive policies, amplifies diverse voices, and fosters community engagement and support for the well-being of trans+ individuals. Our Values At TRACTION, we hold a set of core organizational values that guide our work and shape our impact on the trans+ and gender-diverse community.
