# About Us

Hi! We are One Among Us, proudly a community of the proud East Asian and East Asian-Canadian transgender and gender-diverse family. We provide peer and community support for our fellows, aiming to build connections between travelers and those in our hometown.

We started as a memorial site for our friends and allies who passed away. We believe that both those who are still living and those who had passed away are important members of our community, are the “Ones” Among Us. Now we have developed into an alliance of seven interconnected workgroups.

We are a registered not-for-profit organization in Ontario, Canada.

## Workgroups

We do trans arts and prepare for the upcoming gallery Arts Among Us.

## Our Mandate

One Among Us began as, and is most importantly, in the business of honoring the memory of those in the transgender and gender diverse (TGD) community who have passed away, and that business will not change. This means that we are a transgender service organization and transgender community built around the deceased, or more accurately, around the relationship between the living and the deceased. Both the living and the deceased should be part of our diverse and spiritual trans community. We would not be able to come together and unite as an organization that serves the living without a common memory and remembrance of the deceased. Therefore, in every activity and business we do, we should try our best to involve both the living and the dead. Despite the lines between the two sides of the River Styx (or, say, the Galaxy), we must take into account the people who are silently watching over us on the other side. Our anthem, flag, and other symbols of our organization should all serve the purpose of connecting the living and the dead.
