Affirming Community for All
As State and Federal officials target Trans, Nonbinary, and Queer people, we seek to aid those seeking to relocate to Southern Illinois. Carbondale, Illinois is a socially progressive enclave with an established LGBTQIA+ community. It has affirming medical care and is well suited to welcome those fleeing hostile states. Our aim is to provide information and material support so that any one of our LGBTQIA+ siblings can find their home in Carbondale.
To those who wish to live as their truest self, we welcome you with open arms and our steadfast support.
