The latest article by our Co-lead, @sumansaurav.com is a tribute to queer communications, queer communicators, and the rebellious, relational, strategic ways our communities have created, connected, and resisted.

🏳️⚧️ Remember: Pride is not a campaign. It’s a protest.
What do you do when your “let’s support a few orgs with comms and tech during this funding crisis” plan turns into seven full-blown strategies, a digital security guide, and three feminist trainings… in a month?
You cry a little. You scream into the group chat. And then you make a zine about it! 👇
Big bold header: “Want to support? You already can.” Text explains how to donate, pay it forward, or become a funder — with a call to check commsforacause.org/donation.
👀 Also… wanna be a funder? You don’t need to be a foundation. You just need to be someone who believes in this kind of slow, principled, nerdy strategy magic. Anyone can be a funder at hashtag#CommsForACause!

✨ Send us snacks (please). We’re back soon with more.
Announcement slide with: “We’re reopening consult calls!” Includes small text explaining the new structured, limited intake process.
📣 🚨 Next week, we’re reopening our pro bono consultation calls and strategy slots! But this time, we’re pacing ourselves. We’ve learned, we’ve adjusted, and we’re building something softer and more sustainable.
Hand-drawn text saying: “We’re a two-person team. No funding. No interns. Just strategy, safety, and stubborn feminist hope.” Decorative stars and soft textures.
We're a small but mighty team with full-time jobs! Just working in between meetings, lunch breaks, and chai time. This is truly our joy project and all the sleepless nights are completely worth it!
A quote page with blurred paper and soft hearts. Four anonymized testimonials from orgs, each expressing excitement and gratitude for the strategies received.
Here's what organizations we supported had to say! *crying with joy*
A vertical list of thematic areas with hand-drawn icons: Climate justice, Trans liberation, SRHR, Movement safety, Feminist publishing, Environmental justice, and more.
We are so proud of what we have been able to achieve in this 1 month!
Map-inspired design with regions listed as “mountains, coastlines, forest regions, capital cities, rural towns” — without naming countries.
This is a mini celebration of the fact that we are somehow... still standing. 🫠 🤕
A warm, illustrated slide listing: “7 Communications Strategies, 1 Digital Security Toolkit, 3 Training & Workshop Proposals” with a hand-drawn star and hearts.
Let's take you backstage and show you what we’ve been up to! 🥸
Text in soft lavender background. Reads: “The truth? We’ve been overwhelmed — in the best way. Here’s what we’ve been quietly building.” Notebook doodle-style illustrations in corners.
In the last month, Comms for a Cause turned into a little factory of late-night strategies, digital safety guides, training proposals, and love letters disguised as Google Docs. We said yes a few too many times, cried a little (in joy and overwhelm), and now here we are. Trying to process it all.
“Behind the Curtain at Comms for a Cause” written in playful script over a layered background with stars, torn paper, and a curtain illustration. Subtitle reads, “What a tiny team built in one month — with heart, politics, and way too many Google Docs.”
🤔 What happens when two burnt-out nerds accidentally turn their group chat rants about capitalism into full-blown strategy support?
Apparently, THIS. 👇🏽

A pastel-toned digital letter set against the backdrop of a waving trans flag. The letter is titled “From our fight to yours, from our joy to yours – A love letter to every trans-led movement holding the line.” It features a heartfelt message to trans-led organizations, acknowledging their courage, joy, organizing, and community care, especially during difficult times. At the bottom is a photo of two smiling trans people, with the words “Trans Day of Visibility (TDOV)” in hand-drawn-style typography, along with heart and sparkle illustrations. The letter is signed by the Comms for a Cause team.
To every trans-led movement holding the line - this one’s for you. 🩵
This is a love letter.
From our joy to yours.
From our fight to yours.
To us. For us. By us. Always.
🌈 With so much tenderness,
The Comms for a Cause team
