Building Long-Term Power
Just like our immigrant-focused clinics, Queer Family Preparedness Clinics serve as a gateway to broader organizing efforts. We’re working to ensure queer families—especially immigrants and communities of color—are prepared not only for today’s threats but also to fight for justice tomorrow.

Important Resources
Lavender Cards
Our Lavender Cards are like red cards for Know-Your-Rights (KYR), but specifically for LGBTQIA+ individuals. These cards are meant to be kept on your person in case you are incapacitated. They serve as a vital communication tool to healthcare providers, indicating:
-
You have prepared legal documents designating decision-makers
-
Your preferences for medical care and guardianship
-
Your gender identity and rights
Download your Lavender Card to carry with you and ensure your wishes are known and respected in critical moments.
