About Us

Mission

Rainbow Families Action is a group of parents of trans youth and their allies in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. We came together in response to increased attacks on trans youth. Rainbow Families Action builds a world where trans and gender expansive youth can live authentically and freely. We engage in collective advocacy, mutual aid, and creative action.

Values

We act with an audacious love that uplifts and fights for the liberation of queer and gender-expansive families.

We build a fierce community that creates opportunities to collaborate and act.

We stand resolute because the joy, health, and safety of trans and gender-expansive children is non-negotiable.

Vision

RFA envisions a joyful world full of radical empathy and acceptance of all genders.
