For international relocation, anyone considering Ireland can email the Irish Refugee Council at info@irishrefugeecouncil.ie for specific information relevant to their current situation.

May I quote post you in the international advice sub thread, or would you rather I just share the link?

I know this is a strange place to ask, but does anyone know if there's causes rallying in response to this that need a data analyst or an IT developer/admin?

Buffalo has a trans mutual aid org called the Queerie Canal that helps trans people relocate there. Buffalo has the advantage of being one of the more affordable trans friendly areas

Went and filled out the form to offer my futon to the TCP group you linked... only to now see they're based in Colorodo and my help would be extremely useless. Whoops. Well maybe some other groups in this tread will be better to volunteer for. TIme to go digging

Leaving Kansas is really not a helpful solution, plz redirect attention and resources to KS community orgs that can provide immediate material support instead. Moving isn’t possible without valid ID and people need $ to fund just the id. Good place to start is acefoundationict.org , also see image

Asking in good faith, how are people not able to leave? Would their ID not be valid in other states?

I live near Philly, but will be traveling to Lexington, KY next week. If someone needs a ride for that leg of their journey, I'm happy to have company! I'll be heading back this way the 6th or 7th. I could probably arrange with a friend to get them to Connecticut, too.

TC Pipeline is a trans relocation org located in Colorado which is near Kansas

It would be helpful if you could signal boost them. They could use funding and volunteers, and trans folks in Kansas may want to contact them if they need extraction

Also: the letters sent may be illegal

I don’t have legal advice for trans people in Kansas yet, but the 14th amendment is supposed to prohibit having a DL seized without due process

If there is an injunction, surrendering their DLs could be a mistake.

I don’t know though

If you have legal advice please reply

Could you boost this for me?

The information in these links needs to get to as many trans folks in Kansas as possible, and I’m sure ACLU Kansas could use the visibility

There’s a mutual aid group similar to TCP operating out of central illinois—i think their ability to help financially is limited atm but they also help with finding housing, doing the physical moving, etc. Request form is here: cryptpad.fr/form/ href="/search?t=posts&q=/2/form/view/OCZyOO3INQq7+GRHAYby5mdCaj1drdLoWj6HKVPK-6k/">#/2/form/view/OCZyOO3INQq7+GRHAYby5mdCaj1drdLoWj6HKVPK-6k/

Do they have a donation portal? If they are broke, I might be able to channel donor money towards them

I would also like more verification of their existence than a crypt-pad link if possible. I don’t want to direct people to a trap or scam
