Parivar Bay Area seeks to build a life for our trans queer South Asian lives by creating diverse coalitions to expand beyond our intersectionality and hold spaces that let us be vulnerable and celebrate our identities simultaneously with our cultural roots. Our coalition-building includes LGB folks, cishet allies, other trans queer people of color, etc. For example, we played critical roles in founding the Queer Trans Asian Pacific Islander Coalition, the Trans Immigrant Coalition, advancing the US Trans Survey, hosting the first global Trans Day of Remembrance, and countless informal coalitions through events throughout the Bay Area and beyond.
