Trans Education and Action (TEA) is a committee of Allied in Pride bringing awareness to trans issues in order to make GW a trans-friendly and trans-aware campus. If you want to be involved please email Allied in Pride at allied@gwu.edu. New members are always welcome to join; we encourage allies to be activists on this important issue.


Right now we're planning a fabulous Drag Ball that will be on March 27th! If you're interested in planning and being involved with TEA, stop by our meeting Tuesday, Feb 12th @8pm on the Marvin Center 4th floor couches. All gender bending individuals and allies welcome!
