BARE is a community organization that focuses on training, movement building, and grant-making, dedicated to the healing, wellness, and liberation of Black trans and marginalized communities in California.

BARE builds an ecosystem of care for Black trans and other exploited communities. We train, fund, and resource alternative wellness and care systems through a network of therapists, healers, wellness practitioners, and community leaders. We center our work around the healing justice framework that identifies how we can intervene and holistically respond to generational trauma and violence.

Our organization’s mission is to empower these communities by providing tools, support, and resources that promote healing and growth. Through our programs and initiatives, we aim to uplift Black trans people, particularly those who have been historically marginalized and underserved.
