Transgender Awareness Week runs from November 13-19 leading up to Transgender Day of Remembrance on Thursday, November 20. We've added a blog post on RECLAIM's website compiling information about Transgender Awareness Week and Transgender Day of Remembrance, including events taking place across Minnesota.

Give to the Max Day, Minnesota's statewide annual giving event, is just a week away on Thursday, November 20th. But you don't have to wait until next week - you can make or schedule your gift today at GiveMN.org/RECLAIM.

When others seek to separate and isolate us, we know that solidarity and community make us powerful and unstoppable. As a RECLAIM supporter, you are the community that empowers us to boldly create space for queer and trans youth, both now and for many years to come.  You are the community that makes our work possible. 

Our goal is $30,000, and the first $15,000 will be matched by the Clara Foundation, stretching your impact twice as far. Please give to support queer and trans youth mental health.

Thank you to the artists and attendees of Queer, Trans, & Talented: A Youth Art Showcase. We had an incredible turnout for a first-time event, every work of art on sale was sold, and new friendships and connections abounded!

We want to give a special shout-out to our co-host partner organization, 825 Arts, to the PFund Foundation for sponsoring our event, and to the Changing Voice Collective for their expertise and support with vocal coaching. 

Hang out with queers and friends at RECLAIM on Thursday, November 20 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. We'll work on our end-of-year fundraising projects and preparations for Celebrate the Love. Activities may include preparing mailings, writing postcards, or making phone calls.

Open to first-time and returning volunteers.

Celebrate the Love, RECLAIM's annual brunch and gala, is just three months away! We are excited to welcome our community back to McNamara Alumni Center on Saturday, February 14, 2026.
