ABOUT TRACTION
TRACTION is short for TRANS COMMUNITY ACTION.
Founded in 2019, TRACTION is a trans-led 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in Washington state. Our mission is to cultivate connection and visibility for transgender and gender-diverse people through community service in support of underserved communities.
We are also here to bring together our community in celebration of our beautiful and authentic selves as trans and gender-diverse people, and to create a sense of belonging. Our Emerge! events, Community Campfire virtual series, and the Vibes! music showcases feature the words and performance art of our diverse and talented community of Two-Spirit, trans+, nonbinary, gender-diverse, and gender-nonconforming people.
