About Call Bubbie

The purpose of Call Bubbie is to support transgender people, individuals of marginalized genders, and women who navigate non-consensus realities and/or suicidality.

Rooted in the values of community mental health and disability justice, we are a collective of poor and working-class individuals offering free or low-cost services to support and uplift people like us.

We are based on Cowlitz, Multnomah, and Clackamas land referred to as Multnomah County, OR.

About 75% of our team experiences nonconsensus reality. In medical terms, this might be described as "psychosis," though that term is less favored in the broader community and within the mad liberation space.

We are a team of community workers, primarily composed of peer support specialists and subject matter experts.

Our on-the-ground team includes four peers. Among them, 75% identify as queer, 75% as trans, nonbinary, or Two-Spirit (2S), 75% as disabled, and 50% as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC). All members of this team use they and/or she pronouns.

Our advisory team includes four subject matter experts. Of these advisors, 75% identify as trans, nonbinary, or Two-Spirit (2S), 75% are BIPOC, 75% use neopronouns, 25% use she/her pronouns, and 100% identify as disabled.

Call Bubbie was founded in 2023 by a peer support specialist who encountered challenges in accessing affirming, community-based resources for a woman they were supporting through altered states. This woman was a profound source of inspiration, encouraging them to live boldly and never from a place of fear. The experience of supporting her left an indelible mark, leading to the creation of Call Bubbie in her honor. The organization was born from an altered state the founder experienced afterward, with the intention of ensuring that her memory remains a blessing.

We are not a nonprofit organization; we are entirely community-funded. If you would like to support our work, you can make a one-time contribution through our Stripe page or become a monthly subscriber via PayPal. Thank you for your generosity!
