Feminist activists and pop stars Tegan and Sara have launched the Tegan and Sara Foundation, a nonprofit which works for economic health, justice, and representation for LGBTQ girls and women.
The foundation highlights all the unique challenges facing LGBTQ girls and women: lack of media representation for lesbian women, homelessness and healthcare issues that trans women face, poverty disproportionately affecting women of color.

In a letter from the duo, they promise to be proactive in the fight against oppression and bigotry.
We will support the work of other organizations who have been fighting for LGBTQ and women’s rights by raising funds and awareness for their initiatives. We will fight against the repressive legislation of the incoming Trump administration. We will fight against regressive homophobic, transphobic, and misogynistic legislation. We will fight for economic, racial and gender justice. We started the Foundation to dismantle the systems of inequity that prevent LGBTQ girls and women from reaching their full potential. Together, we can make a difference.
Details remain murky, however you’re able to donate, connect, and subscribe to get more information.
