National Strategic Program Coordinator

The Marsha P. Johnson Institute (MPJI) protects and defends the human rights
of black transgender people. We do this by organizing, advocating, creating
an intentional community to heal, developing transformative leadership, and
promoting our collective power.  We intend to reclaim Marsha P. Johnson and
our relationship as Black trans people to her life and legacy. It is in our
reclaiming of Marsha that we give ourselves permission to reclaim autonomy to
our minds, to our bodies, and to our futures. We were founded both as a
response to the murders of Black trans women and women of color and how that
is connected to our exclusion from social justice issues, namely racial,
gender, and reproductive justice, as well as gun violence.

We invite members to learn about who Marsha P. Johnson was while exploring
themselves as well. MPJI seeks to eradicate systemic, community, and physical
violence that silences our community from actualizing freedom, joy, and
safety.

We were created to elevate, support, and nourish the voices of Black trans
people.  Our community is made up of Black trans people and those committed
to undoing white supremacy in all of its forms. Our space is intended for the
sole purpose of bettering the Black trans community across the diaspora.

We believe that Black people are the future. We are committed to this
organization always being led by the most radical Black trans people whose
imaginations exist beyond the confines of the state.  We invite all qualified
Black trans people to apply to be a part of our passionate staff.
