FORGE INC
Mission Statement
FORGE’s mission is to create a world where ALL voices, people and bodies are valued, respected, honored, and celebrated; where every individual feels safe, supported, respected, and empowered. Our work focuses around the following four central beliefs: 1. A belief that trans people and loved ones are resilient (but may still benefit from some reminders and skills); 2. A belief that service providers have the profession-specific skills they need to serve trans people, but simply need additional trans-specific knowledge and confidence; 3. A belief that EVERY person is valuable and has a great deal to contribute to society; and 4. A belief that binary systems and thinking create arbitrary lines between people and communities, which damage spirits and resilience.
