SisTers PGH's mission is to dismantle the cycles of systemic oppression and marginalization impacting Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) transgender and nonbinary communities by providing holistic, trans-led, and gender-affirming care. Through innovative housing initiatives, community-centered programming, and advocacy, Sisters PGH works to create sustainable solutions that empower individuals to thrive, disrupt the nonprofit industrial complex, and build futures rooted in equity, care, and radical inclusion.
They envision a future where BIPOC transgender and nonbinary people lead sustainable, self-determined lives free from systemic barriers. By transforming the intersections of housing, healthcare, and advocacy, they aim to establish a world where the trans community no longer needs nonprofit support systems that feed on their marginalization. Instead, they foster an environment where harm reduction, mutual aid, and restorative justice guide our actions, and where Black and Brown trans women and femmes have access to safe, affordable housing, equitable employment, and the resources to age with dignity.
At Sisters PGH, they believe in building radical futures, creating spaces for healing and empowerment, and working collaboratively to achieve justice for the most marginalized members of our society.
