We are fighting for the right to exist without fear of state and interpersonal violence, to have control over our own bodies, and to be able to live full, long, and joyful lives. We use Black feminism to guide us as we tackle our three areas of impact-economic justice, housing justice, and gender-based violence prevention through movement building. In doing this, we place the most vulnerable members of our community-namely Black trans girls, women, femmes-at the center in order to find solutions that will bring forward collective liberation for all marginalized communities. Based in Seattle, LRP works locally and throughout the state but also has national impact through our extensive partnerships and coalitions.

Through further internal review and in preparation for The Organization's first audit, it was determined that these funds were not actually conditional and were instead restricted. Upon hiring a Contract CFO to help with audit preparations, The Organization reclassified the funds as pledges and grants receivable in the amount of $664,421 as of December 31, 2023. This was related to promises to give that had been received by The Organization and were unconditional as of December 31, 2023. In addition to these pledges and grants receivable, there was an additional $5,509 of other small adjustments.
