Sunday Service Notes - Tranzmission with Parks Harper

2/23/2015

 
From Parks:

Tranzmission is dedicated to making the lives of Transgender, Gender Variant, Non-Binary, and Gender Queer individuals healthier, happier, and safer through education, advocacy, and support. 

We do actually have a website! It is: www.tranzmission.org. You can make donations right on the website if you'd like. There is also a Facebook page- please "friend" us!

As far as supplies are concerned we always need:
  • clear packing tape
  • sharpies
  • postage stamps
  • envelopes 
  • soft-cover books (see note below)
  • money for postage (tax deductible!) 

You may give these materials to me at fellowship and I will bring them to Asheville when I go visit, or if you prefer you may mail these materials to:

Tranzmission Prison Project
P.O. Box 1874
Asheville, NC, 28802

If anyone is in Asheville on a Wednesday evening, feel free to drop by and help package books for a while! See the website for instructions or ask me. 
--------------------------------------------------------

A note about books-
Absolutely *Any and All* books in any condition are welcome but the most popular are:
  • Dictionaries- by far the most requested item
  • "Escapist" fiction/ "beach reads"- the second most popular. Any story that can "transport" you to another place, science fiction, fantasy, even many classic works! 
  • Anything LGBTQ related is amazing, we absolutely can't get enough of these books for people. 
  • Spanish-English dictionaries- lots of cell mates don't speak the same language as each other and this can really help.
  • Black History- an exceedingly popular topic

We also get a lot of requests for: crossword puzzles, self-help books, history books, romance/erotic novels, national geographic magazine, and westerns. 

Anything and everything will be mailed to someone and absolutely appreciated.
