Transplants & Friends Supper Table

Seeking to escape the escalating anti-trans violence and persecution in conservative areas of the country, scores of trans+ folk and their families and loved ones (aka “transplants”) resettled in Seattle in the last year with help via TRACTION’s Project Open Arms. Even more arrived via our friends at KOI — and who knows how many came by other means. A successful move like that isn’t just getting your body to a new place or the logistics it takes to get there. It’s also about connecting with new faces, making friends, feeling included, and building community.

TRACTION, KOI, and Seattle’s LGBTQ+ Center invite recent transplants, along with local relocation volunteers & Couch Network hosts, to a new monthly gathering. Come enjoy a free meal and get to know your new neighbors.

Capacity will be limited and security is critical, so it’s important to RSVP. Also, let us know about any specific dietary restrictions.

Save the Date: 4th Tuesdays at 6:30 pm beginning February 24, 2026
Location: [Sent upon RSVP]

Volunteers Needed: Help us with food prep and service! Email volunteer@tractionpnw.org if interested.
