About The a Thousand Pansies Project:
A Thousand Pansies is a project started by Cedre Csillagi, a nonbinary tattoo artist, as a way to raise funds for organizations that support the trans community and also to show solidarity & pride.
A Thousand Pansies’ goal is to tattoo 1000 pansies, with all proceeds donated directly to organizations supporting trans and non-binary communities.
The pansy tattoo is intended to be a symbol of resilience and a marking of love and support, to be worn by allies and community.
Cedre has chosen The Knights and Orchids Society (TKOS) in Selma, Alabama as the first recipient of A Thousand Pansies. Their mission:
The Knights and Orchids Society, Inc. builds the power of transgender, lesbian, bisexual, and gay Black people across the south by providing a spectrum of health and wellness services. . . Our goal is to help more Black trans, same-gender-loving, and Black queer folks access high-quality primary care and endocrinology services.
Please note: You will need to make a tax-deductible donation of $500 within 24 hours of claiming the slot to the Knights and Orchids Society. Appointments will be released if the donation isn’t made in the first 24 hours and given to the next person on the list.
