EVERY DOLLAR MATTERS

WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP

A message from our Executive Director, Jamie

DONATE NOW

THIS IS MORE THAN JUST A SPACE

In a world that tries to silence us, joy is an act of defiance.

What makes a space a home? It’s the people, the safety, and the dreams that grow within.

YOUR SUPPORT CREATES CHANGE

BE PART OF THE MOVEMENT

The Autonomy Project is expanding its mission to meet the challenges of a shifting cultural and political landscape. Our new advocacy programming and community support initiatives focus on providing tangible resources, fostering resilience, and empowering marginalized communities to thrive in the face of adversity.


These initiatives are about more than survival—they’re about helping our community thrive. By creating spaces for learning, connection, and advocacy, we’re building a network of support that strengthens our community at every level. Whether it’s a workshop, a mutual aid fund, or advocacy training, everything we do is rooted in empowering individuals and fostering collective action.


With your support, we can turn these plans into reality and continue to be a lifeline for those who need it most. Join us in building a future where no one has to face the challenges alone.

TESTIMONIALS

COMMUNITY

I found AP during one of the hardest times in my life. Their resilience circles and support groups gave me a space to heal, to be seen, and to feel understood. It’s more than just a place—it’s a family, a sanctuary, and a movement all in one.

The Autonomy Project reminds me that joy is not frivolous—it’s essential. Dancing at their queer nights, painting in their art sessions, or just meeting people who truly see you… This is what keeps us going in tough times. 


- A, community member

AP has redefined what it means to be a safe space. It’s not just about having a roof over your head—it’s about creating a home where you feel free to be exactly who you are. No matter what happens in my life, I know I can always come home to my found family at AP. This my forever home.
