Hello friends. We are about to launch the program for Joy Who Lived this year, and while we’re doing that, here’s an email asking for your support.

The festival costs about $50,000 to put on. This covers venues, tech, accessibility, and printing our programs and festival guide. With these costs covered, we can live-stream all of our shows, and give our ticket revenue to the trans producers and performers (last year this was over $23,000—flipping awesome).

So we’d love your support! Direct donations go through our GiveLively page, and we just launched a T-shirt fundraiser with our wonderful Joy Who Lived logo! Check out and get tie dye or solid versions of the t-shirt!
