Welcome to The Tea, a newsletter from the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL) to celebrate and uplift the lives and experiences of Black queer, non-binary, and TGNCI (trans, gender-nonconforming, and intersex) people in the United States and globally.

Across our movement, we’ve seen everything from Black LGBTQIA people making history in politics, to upswings in anti-trans policies and state-sanctioned violence. The time of exploiting and harming Black queer and TGNCI folks is over—and the time to protect and celebrate the contributions of our communities is now. And The Tea is only the beginning!
