Access to healthcare is a sacred right we care so deeply about as Unitarian Universalists. One of the sacred and life-saving forms of care that is currently under legislative attack is the access for gender-affirming care for our transgender, nonbinary, and intersex youth and adults.

A dark pink string and bow with a white tag that reads for yoUU! on a deep purple background sets this image up to look like a package. Near the upper left corner is a cartoon envelope with hearts coming out. On the right side is a small cartoon sugar cookie and in the right bottom corner is a cartoon candle with a heart label. The text reads "Care Packages for Young Adults"

How do we share the love when our beloved high school aged youth grow up, cross that mythical bridge and become official adults? One simple and effective way to stay in relationship with our bridged young adults is through sending care packages their way!

From Uplift

It can be a frightening time to be trans, and to love trans folks. There can be a giant sense of fear and overwhelm, which can make us feel like shutting down. We want to offer more ways to navigate these times.
