Donation: LGBTQ+ Teacher Legal Defense Fund

Support Tami Staas in Her Fight Against Anti-LGBTQ Extremism

We are raising funds to support Tami Staas, a Mesa Public School teacher and the Executive Director of the Arizona Trans Youth Parent Organization (AZTYPO), who has been maliciously targeted by anti-LGBTQ extremists using false accusations and defamation. Tami is a tireless advocate for inclusivity, acceptance, and diversity, dedicating her life to creating safe spaces for all students and supporting families with transgender and gender-expansive children.

These extremist attacks are a direct threat to the safety and inclusion that teachers like Tami foster in our schools. We must stand together to protect the rights of educators who champion diversity and push back against spreading harmful, baseless accusations.

Every donation made at Brick Road Coffee’s point of sale or through a donation on our website will go directly to Tami’s legal defense fund with AZTYPO, a 501(c)(3) organization, ensuring she has the resources needed to fight back. Any excess funds raised will be used to support others in the LGBTQ+ community facing defamation.

Thank you for standing in solidarity with us. Together, we can uphold the truth, protect our teachers, and continue to build safe, inclusive communities for all.
