MEET MAMA

MAJOR! explores the life and campaigns of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a formerly incarcerated Black transgender elder and activist who has been fighting for the rights of trans women of color for over 40 years.

Miss Major is a veteran of the Stonewall Rebellion and a survivor of Attica State Prison, a former sex worker, an elder, and a community leader and human rights activist. She is simply “Mama” to many in her community. Her personal story and activism for transgender civil rights intersects LGBT struggles for justice and equality from the 1960s to today. At the center of her activism is her fierce advocacy for her girls, trans women of color who have survived police brutality and incarceration in men’s jails and prisons.

We've compiled a Study Guide for educators and community leaders who would like to learn more about the legacy of Miss Major's work for trans advocacy and the abolition of the Prison Industrial Complex.

SCREENINGS & AWARDS

become part of miss major's circle of care

Miss Major has fought tirelessly for justice and freedom from the Stonewall Rebellion in 1969 to her role as Executive Director of the Transgender, Gender Variant, and Intersex Justice Project (TGIJP) in San Francisco since 2006. For over forty years, Miss Major has paved the way for us to be who and where we are today. Due to her continued health challenges, rising medical costs, and recent retirement from TGIJP that has left her without an income, Miss Major needs our support more than ever.

The production of this film is part of a circle of monthly donors working collectively to contribute $2,965 monthly to cover Miss Major's basic expenses, including: rent ($1,050), utilities ($329), transportation ($834), health care premiums ($182), in home support ($120), food ($250), among others. This circle will not only send a clear message of support to Miss Major but also be an example of intergenerationally caring for our elders during what can be their most challenging years.

If you are as inspired and grateful for Miss Major's work as we are, we invite you to join us by making a monthly contribution at whatever level is meaningful to you. You can adjust or terminate your donation at any time. Please visit Miss Major's Monthly Giving Circle on Fundly to make your pledge today, and be sure to specify "MONTHLY DONATION" next to your pledge amount.
