A Message From The Autonomy Project

December 2, 2024

Dear Autonomy Family,

We know that many of us are feeling the weight of the world right now. The recent election results have left a lot of pain, fear, and uncertainty in their wake. But in times like these, we must look to the strength of our community and the power of our collective vision. The power of our collective imagination. It is the spark that enables us to see beyond the limits imposed by systems of oppression and to build a world rooted in belonging, empowerment, and freedom.

Our mission is to create a space where all of us—LGBTQIA, BIPOC, sex workers, and all marginalized communities—can thrive without fear of judgment, discrimination, or violence. 

We must expand our imaginations in a world that constantly tries to shrink our vision. The very things that others tell us are impossible are the seeds of what we will make real.


When we say autonomy, we mean the power to create and define the life we deserve.


That power lies in each of us, in how we support one another, and in how we come together in solidarity. It’s not easy, and the road ahead may be long, but we are never alone. Together, we can transform the pain of this moment into something revolutionary. We can build a world that holds space for everyone—a world where we define what is possible, a world that belongs to all of us.


Now more than ever, we must dream something better.

To imagine a world where everyone is free to live fully and authentically. To conceptualize a world where we do not just survive, but where we thrive together. The future we seek isn’t a distant dream; it’s one we start building right now, with every action, every conversation, every connection.

The challenges may seem daunting, but we know that
revolution doesn’t always look like grand upheaval. Sometimes, it’s the quiet act of coming together, supporting each other, and imagining a future where everyone can live in safety, love, and joy. That is our work here—reclaiming our futures, one bold act of imagination at a time.

Now is the time to take action, to channel our collective energy into building the future we deserve.

Join us in our upcoming workshops and events, where we’ll explore new ways to support one another and envision a better tomorrow. Volunteer with us to help strengthen our community, or share your story to inspire others. Together, we can turn imagination into reality.

So, let’s continue to push boundaries, create the world we deserve, and remember that
we are stronger together—not just in moments of joy but also in moments of struggle.

You are not alone. We are building this future together.

With love, solidarity, and unwavering hope,

The Autonomy Project
