Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

The Freedom Center for Social Justice FCSJ is a culture-shifting organization committed to the growth, safety and empowerment of marginalized populations.

  • Intersectional pro-LGBTQ organizing - The focus of this effort was culture shifts at the intersection of faith, age, gender expression, sexual orientation, and social justice. The Transgender Faith And Action Network (TFAAN) provided support, networking, respite, and training to over 50 trans folks. The 2023 TFAAN was a multi-day retreat at the Avila Center in Durham, NC. It featured over 15 workshops by and for transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/gender non-conforming people on topics that feel urgent and necessary to explore together in community. The TFAAN Retreat is a non-denominational space and is open to trans people of all and no religious identities.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
