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 simply cover the cost of producing the event. We recognize not everyone who attends can give, at our ticket prices we expect to only "break even" for the event - we work to ensure that catering staff are equitably paid. Additional Gifts will go directly to support Gender Justice League's efforts including Trans Pride Seattle 2017, The Washington SAFE Alliance & Efforts to defeat anti-trans attacks, and our efforts to provide public education & training.
Gender Justice League is committed to economic accessibility - 10% of seats (15) 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 to increase the pool of sliding scale tickets.
