The Instinct to Help

by Ken Wu

Throughout July, we’re donating $2.50 to Gender Justice LA for every copy we sell of Emerson Whitney’s Heaven. GJLA is led by and for Non-binary, 2S, Trans, Black, Indigenous, POC, and has been working to build a strong grassroots multi-racial coalition of transgender people and allies to advocate for our rights, win concrete improvements in our lives, and challenge oppression for the last 18 years. Support trans lives, and read this powerful memoir today.
