TRACTION cultivates connection and visibility for trans and gender-diverse people through community service in support of underserved communities.

We aim to empower and uplift trans+, nonbinary, and Two-Spirit people and create visibility through social engagement, outreach, and community service. Through collaboration with existing groups whose programs reach underserved populations within the Pacific Northwest, TRACTION provides support in the form of volunteer power, funds, and publicity.
