Our Mission:
WeRQ Together is an emerging queer community initiative based in Portland, Oregon. We're focused on curating resources, building relationships with local organizers, nonprofits, and queer creatives, and fostering a thriving community where everyone feels safe, supported, and empowered.
Our Vision:
We envision a Portland where creativity and resources intertwine to create transformative change. We aim to become a central hub for queer creatives, community organizers, and nonprofits, offering them the tools and opportunities to connect, collaborate, and build sustainable support systems.
Where Creativity & Resources Meet.
When creativity and resources come together, something transformative happens.
Creativity as Survival & Innovation.
For many queer and trans individuals, creativity isn't just expression—it's survival, resistance, and innovation. It's how we reclaim space, build community, and imagine new futures. But creativity needs resources to flourish.
Resources as Empowerment.
We facilitate access to resources—tools, spaces, funding, connections—distributed in ways that meet the evolving needs of our community. We're flexible, supportive, and responsive, meeting folks where they're at with a deep understanding of the challenges we face.
What we're WeRQing on:
Relocation Support
We provide resources and guidance for LGBTQ+ individuals relocating to Oregon, helping them find housing, employment, healthcare, and community connections.
Resource Mapping
Maintaining a dynamic resource database to help LGBTQIA2+ individuals and organizations connect, collaborate, and organize.
#Treats4TransPDX
Delivering treats and joy to Portland’s trans community.

We are QUEER & TRANS. 🏳️⚧️
We WeRQ Together in Portland, Oregon.
WeRQ Together started as a mutual aid, community-driven resource map curating public info to connect Queer & Trans folks to safe, inclusive spaces, resources, and businesses in the Portland area. All resources are based on publicly available data, like websites or social media, and we don’t share personal info.
We advocate for INTERSECTIONALITY.
We center trans, BIPOC, disabled, and neurodivergent voices, ensuring that our future programs and spaces reflect the full diversity of our community.
We believe in COLLABORATION.
Our goal is to work alongside existing organizations and creatives, providing mutual aid through shared resources and partnerships.
We're committed to SUSTAINABILITY.
Building long-term, sustainable support systems that empower local queer & trans communities to thrive.
