Joyful Transitions PDX

At Joyful Transitions PDX, this Juneteenth we stand with black people in both mourning and celebration for those who died seeking freedom, who died while enslaved, and those who lived long enough to be freed, they all have their own powerful legacy. White people have tried to tarnish these legacies for their pride and their embarrassment for the actions of their ancestors. But these generations of black families and love and resilience and strength will not be pushed aside.

We acknowledge that many are still not free. As our prison industrial complex in conjunction with police, jail black people at an exorbitant rate compared to any other race. Those prisoners are then forced to work for pennies, sometimes nothing. This is prison slavery.

This is racism in action. Racism in the present. And we must work within our local communities and national stage to abolish and rebuild our justice and rehabilitation system so that everyone is treated equally and humanely.

Juneteenth offers message of hope, resiliency Many Black people in the United States recognize June 19 as their Independence Day.

Interest Form: https://forms.gle/NzVmHGbVEFGUXdAN9

Joyful Transitions is a trans, nonbinary, and disabled-run nonprofit founded in May 2021. We provide free gender transition materials for low-income and houseless trans and nonbinary individuals of all ages in Oregon. In one year, we helped over 200 folks in the PNW access free gender transition materials!
We were on a hiatus while figuring out our board bylaws and continued funding, but I am ready to relaunch soon and need help doing it!

We have a few choice positions for types of board members, though I’d like to get at least:
1 Treasury Officer
1 Social Media Officer
1 Volunteer Outreach Officer
Ideally, we would also have an admin services officer. If I have a large pool of those interested, I can open that position. All of our positions are remote. Board members are required to work on JTPDX for a minimum of 10 hours per month.

As a Board member, you would also have the option to provide and manage fee services through the JTPDX name, such as counseling, consulting, and classes or workshops. As long as it relates to our mission.
