Relocation networks beyond Oregon

You don't have to leave the country to get somewhere safer. These trans-led networks help people move to more affirming states, with travel help, housing leads, and community waiting on the other side.

• WERQ TOGETHER (Oregon) is us. If Oregon is your destination, start your intake and we'll walk the whole move with you.
• Traction PNW / Project Open Arms helps you land in Western Washington and the Pacific Northwest.
• Trans Continental Pipeline relocates people to Colorado, including temporary housing with vetted locals.
• Queer Trans Project offers emergency relocation grants and free flights through Elevated Access.
• Trans Resistance Network works through Signal with structured anonymity and prioritizes families with children.

Most of these can help no matter where you're starting from. If you're not sure which fits, reach out to more than one.

If you're facing immediate danger and need to cross a border to be safe, Rainbow Railroad helps LGBTQI+ people get to safety, including international relocation. Apply through their website.

This is for situations where staying in the country isn't safe, not for general moves.

Thinking about leaving the US is a big research project, and these two resources are good starting points. Neither is legal advice.

• HelpMeLeave.Us has a Visa Explorer that shows which countries you might qualify to move to and how to start.
• Trans World Express is a community wiki of country-by-country visa and emigration info, with coordination over Signal.

Give yourself time. Emigration is slow, and there is currently no reliable asylum path for US citizens based on LGBTQ+ status, so most people go the visa route.
