FED Up Collective

Trans Youth Equality Foundation

Trans Youth Equality Foundation

The folx at Fed Up are spearheading a movement to support marginalized communities in accessing more affordable and culturally competent ED care. 


FEDUP is a collective of trans+, intersex, and gender diverse people who believe eating disorders in marginalized communities are social justice issues. Our mission is to make visible, interrupt, and undermine the disproportionately high incidence of eating disorders in trans and gender diverse individuals through radical community healing, recovery institution reform, research, empowerment, and education. 

Trans Youth Equality Foundation

Trans Youth Equality Foundation

Trans Youth Equality Foundation

The Trans Youth Equality Foundation provides education, advocacy and support for transgender and gender non-conforming children and youth and their families. Our mission is to share information about the unique needs of this community, partnering with families, educators and service providers to help foster a healthy, caring, and safe environment for all transgender children. 

Free Figure

Trans Youth Equality Foundation

Free Figure

Free Figure Revolution is a Southern body liberation organization built on Black fat queer futurism. Our work is dedicated to working directly from the margins of our society, centering the often ignored casualties of white supremacist humanity standards, and the heart and foundation of any and all body liberation movements - Black fat folks. 


Free Figure's mission is to create the revolution we need, and demand the humanity we deserve. We do this through community programming + initiatives, campaigns, art as resistance, transformative justice, and data futurism. In curating safer spaces and healing, we use a Black fat queer futuristic lens to humanize ourselves in moving through the ongoing antiblack violence we experience.

Statement

LIN Commitments to Inclusivity

As a team, we have been thinking of the ways in which we will work to actively be anti racist and to be active about outwardly condemning the violence and racist acts that have taken place on Capitol Hill on January 6th, 2021. It is not lost on us that our country's roots are embedded in racism and white supremacy and we want to make it clear that our practice is an organization that is committed to antiracism and inclusivity. 

Here are our commitments we will continue to take as a practice to do the internal and external work to actively work to be anti racist. 

  1. As a practice, we commit to holding regular discussions on current dialogues regarding racism. We individually and collectively share resources to educate ourselves on the experiences of those who are marginalized to challenge our own attitudes, biases and privileges we hold. 
  2. We will work to actively provide resources for our clients and community that are inclusive and representative of the individuals we serve. We have cultivated a resource list below that includes providers and referrals. 
  3. We commit to decentering ourselves to genuinely listen and learn from the stories of our clients and those in our community to understand their lived experience. 
  4. We will commit not just our time to learning about systemic racism, we will actively commit our financial resources to organizations that are led by BIPOC communities. 


Most of all, we are committed to learning and unlearning the ways in which we have been harmful and complicit in enacting harm due to privilege we have been granted.
