At Pacific Center, we’ve always known that joy is more than a feeling; it’s a key to survival and a way to heal–even as the atrocities continue to fall on us.
For LGBTQIA2S+ communities, joy is radical and foundational. In the midst of oppression and terror, joy is what allows us to dream, to connect, and to keep fighting for a world where everyone belongs. It’s what leads us to justice–one moment, one story, one community at a time. And, joy is what has sustained this organization for more than 50 years, and our community since time immemorial.
Today we are going deeper; we’re using joy as our strength and justice as our direction.
We need your partnership now more than ever to bring our community from Joy to Justice...
Joy to Justice means that…. we will continue to provide life-saving services to the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
Joy to Justice means that…. we will continue to provide FREE and sliding scale mental health services that affirm and reflect our identities.
Joy to Justice means that.… we will continue to provide safe, intergenerational spaces for our community to connect and grow.
Joy to Justice means that…. we will continue to provide FREE LGBTQIA2S+ workshops that help families, allies, and community members learn to better support their loved ones.
Joy to Justice means that…. we will continue to make sure the next generation of Q***r and Trans youth has somewhere to turn – especially when schools, homes, and systems fail them.
Each of these moments began with joy. Together, we can turn them into justice here at Pacific Center for Human Growth.
After 53 years, 2026 may be our most challenging yet. We need to raise $50,000 by December 31st in order to be the most prepared for our community.
Every dollar fuels the justice we need to thrive. Learn more about our vision: https://www.pledge.to/joy-to-justice
