Our Views on ethical fundraising:
We ask attendees to come prepared to make an additional donation if possible, tickets are priced to be as accessible as possible for our community and are intended to cover just the cost of the event. We recognize not everyone who attends can give, at our ticket prices we expect to only “break even”. Additional Gifts will go directly to Trans* Pride Seattle 2015 and Gender Justice Leagues Education & Advocacy efforts.

Gender Justice League is committed to economic accessibility – 10% of seats (22) will be reserved for sliding scale attendance. Please email danni@genderjusticeleague.org if you are in need of a sliding scale ticket. Attendees can also sponsor one of these tickets.

Accessibility: GJL strives to make our spaces radically accessible. Melrose Market is wheelchair accessible. ASL interpretation is available upon request. This is a low-scent and smoke free event. For more questions check out our event page or email jessical@genderjusticeleague.org
