inspire yourself to inspire others
G.L.I.T.S is a Black trans-led advocacy and direct services organization that is dedicated to fighting systemic discrimination against marginalized communities, in New York City and beyond.
THE FUTURE IS G.L.I.T.S!
In June 2020, we raised over $1 million and bought the first-ever Black trans-owned housing complex operated by community, for community.
It’s time to raise $1 million more.

BROOKLYN
LIBERATION MARCH
The speech heard around the country! Ceyenne Doroshow’s iconic speech in June 2020 to a crowd of over 15,000 people at the Brooklyn Liberation March launched G.L.I.T.S into the spotlight, generating a tremendous wave of solidarity.
THE ALIA ADAMS STORY
In 2015, G.L.I.T.S was asked to facilitate the arrival of Alia Adams, a 21 year old Ugandan transgender woman living in Uganda when the anti-homosexuality act was signed into law in 2014. She opens up about the deep struggles of fleeing her home country and enduring harsh conditions living as a refugee in Kenya until finally being granted Asylum here in the US.
“If we don’t own it, we can never call it ours.”
— Ceyenne Doroshow, Founder and Executive Director
