What we've been up to

Celebrating the diversity that is our community

3/31/2022

International Transgender Day of Visibility (also called TDOV, Transgender Day of Visibility) is an annual event occurring on March 31dedicated to celebrating transgender people and raising awareness of discrimination faced by transgender people worldwide, as well as a celebration of their contributions to society. The day was founded by transgender activist Rachel Crandall of Michigan in 2009 as a reaction to the lack of LGBT recognition of transgender people, citing the frustration that the only well-known transgender-centered day was the Transgender Day of Remembrance, which mourned the murders of transgender people, but did not acknowledge and celebrate living members of the transgender community. The first International Transgender Day of Visibility was held on March 31, 2009. It has since been spearheaded by the U.S.-based youth advocacy organization Trans Student Educational Resources

Clothes and community service

3/27/2022

Yesterday was the 5th Annual The Big Event: A Saluki Day of Service, the largest one-day, student-run service project in the history of SIU Carbondale. This year several students volunteered their Saturday to assist our very own Sister Gay B*tch Milkshake with her amazing Novice project and helped organize all the clothes donated over the last few months for the Rainbow Cafe Clothing Closet.


All the remaining clothes that were not selected will now find their ways to such events as Transition Your Closet that Sister Mothra Stewart is working as well as Rainbow Cafe's yard sale happening in May and House of Hope to be sold in their thrift store.


Our first Novice project officially finished! Thank you so much to the students who worked with us today, and to our community for being so generous with their gently used items!

Putting pen to paper to make change

​Today one of our own put pen to paper to write letters to Missouri Senators urging them to vote NO on Senate Bill 843. Sister Jewnita Hug joined fellow TRIM Sister Marjorie Arcana today at Trinity Episcopal Church for a letter campaign to urge Missouri Senators to vote NO on Senate Bill 843. Senate Bill 843 mirrors the horrific legislation passed in Texas.
Under this act, any physician, surgeon, nurse, or other health personnel shall be prohibited from administering any hormonal treatment or performing any surgical treatment for the purpose of gender reassignment for a child under 18. Any physician, surgeon, nurse, or other health personnel willfully and knowingly violating or assisting in the violation of this provision shall be subject to having his or her professional license, application for a license, or authority to practice his or her profession rejected or revoked.
As a community it is vital that we protect our most at risk members from laws like this. Thank you for the amazing service done today Sisters Marjorie and Jewnita

Taking to the road to raise money for AIDS Walk

3/21/2022

0 Comments

 
​This weekend our wonderful Sister Jewnita Hug took to the road to join the City of Fountain Sisters as well as Sister Ursula from the Emerald City Sisters to help raise money for AIDS Walk KC at The Folly Theatre for their 25th Anniversary and also for the return of "Golden Girls Gone Wild" in Kansas City, MO In total over $5,000 was raised through auctions, a 50/50 raffle as well as donations to benefit AIDS Walk KC.
AIDS Walk is a walkathon fundraiser that raises money to combat the AIDS epidemic. The world’s first AIDS Walk fundraiser was organized by AIDS Project Los Angeles in 1985 with a goal of raising $100,000. They achieved that goal and then some, raising over $600,000 with thousands of walkers participating.
Although there is no complete cure for HIV yet, the condition can be effectively controlled by appropriate treatment. People suffering from HIV are treated with antiretroviral therapy (ART), which is very effective in reducing the amount of virus in the blood to an undetectable level.
People who follow ART exactly as prescribed can achieve an undetected virus load and continue to live a healthy life without any risk of sexually transmitting the virus to their partners.
For HIV-negative people, pre-exposure prophylaxis and post-exposure prophylaxis medicines are considered very effective in preventing possible HIV transmission.
It is one of our core missions to teach, educate and assist in raising funds for AIDS research. It is events like AIDS Walk that give us that opportunity to answer one of our callings as Sisters.
