Safety isn’t one thing. It’s a place to live, people in your corner, and a way to make a living. We work on all three.

✔️ Relocation and peer support. If your state isn't safe, we help you get to Oregon and get settled. If you're already here, a peer navigator helps with housing, healthcare, documents, and community
✔️ Housing.Safe Haven matches trans folks who need a room with hosts screened for affirming values, plus support through the first year.
✔️ Economic justice.Try Guide sends your dollars to queer and trans-owned businesses.

For the ones building something freer.

The Beyond the Cis-tem tee pairs a classic black short-sleeve shirt with a bold white WERQ Together graphic, made to say the quiet part loud: trans liberation means imagining life beyond the systems that were never built for us.

Wear it to Pride, to the grocery store, to the meeting, to the fundraiser, to the day you need your outfit to do a little of the talking. It’s graphic, direct, and unmistakably WERQ.

Product Highlights

  • WERQ Together mark printed beneath the design

  • A bold everyday piece for trans folks, queer community, and everyone working beyond the cis-tem
