What is a clothing swap? And why are they helpful for transgender and nonbinary individuals? A clothing swap is when people come together with clothing they no longer want or need and exchange those pieces of clothing with people who want or need them. But wait, you might ask, what does this have to do with trans and nonbinary people? Well... Clothing swaps offer a free chance for trans and nonbinary individuals to access clothing that affirms their gender without having to spend money on an entirely new wardrobe. 🩵💖🤍Join JQ and BCC for a Trans Day of Remembrance Shabbat honoring trans lives through community, care, and connection. 🩵💖🤍 We’ll share a pizza dinner and clothing swap to create a safe, affirming space for trans folks to explore Shabbat-ready styles, followed by a heartfelt service and special oneg.
