Please explain the purpose of this event and why it is important for the City to co-sponsor this event |
G.A.R.R.A.S. (Ground Breaking Activism Redirecting & Reforming All Systems) is an annual fashion show and fundraiser event that highlights the Trans, Gender nonconforming community and their allies as high fashion models, designers and stylists while raising funds for the TransLatin@ Coalition. Through our G.A.R.R.A.S. event, Trans and Gender nonconforming communities and their allies demonstrate their talents, leadership and activism skills. Our G.A.R.R.A.S. event helps to redefine activism in recognition that every event participant is an activist who impacts their lives and that of others. Participants provide their art, time, talent and many other multiple skills while raising funds to uplift and mobilize the Trans & Gender nonconforming community to create a space of self-expression and total acceptance. It is important that the city of West Hollywood co-sponsors this event because it will show a welcoming space for the trans community. Additionally, it shows the great partnership that continues to be built with the only trans led organization that provides a multiplicity of services, many of individuals who live, work, go to school or spend the majority of time in the City of West Hollywood and who are transgender benefit from. Further, it will also highlight how the City of West Hollywood is intentionally supporting and creating specific programs and events that are dedicated to uplift the lives of trans, gender nonconforming and gender expansive people.

How does this event benefit the West Hollywood community and/or the City? |
The City of West Hollywood and their residents will benefit greatly as our GARRAS Fashion Show brings visibility to one of the most marginalized populations in our society. Having our GARRAS Fashion Show at the City of West Hollywood will send a message of inclusivity and acceptance which is a message that many members of the trans community need to hear, specially now that there are so many attacks and violence perpetrated against the trans community
