Pink Haven Coalition Work

The Pink Haven Coalition is a joint project between frontline trans organizers, the Unitarian Universalist Association and other partners such as the UU Service Committee, progressive faith groups and mutual aid networks. 2023 saw an increase in anti-trans laws being proposed and passed. Through the Pink Haven Coalition, a network has been created to organize housing and transportation for “passengers,” the name the coalition has given to the people it is helping.

Pink Haven Coalition staff and volunteers organize and build networks of communities across the country. These networks support trans people who need to relocate temporarily to access gender-affirming care or for another reason.

When asked, the Coalition offers a range of supports. These might include a place for the passenger and their family to stay, help with transportation, or assisting with financial needs as they set up a life in a new community. UUs in the Coalition are offering their homes as temporary housing for passengers, raising money for them, and more.
