The Okra Project provides meals for Black trans people and has also recently launched two funds to provide mental health resources for Black trans people: the Tony McDade Mental Health Recovery Fund and the Nina Pop Mental Health Recovery Fund. Both are in the name of Black trans people who were murdered in 2020. Each of these funds connects Black trans people with a therapist for no cost after they apply through an online form.
