According to their website, the foundation “raises funds and fights for LGBTQ+ equality and justice through our flagship programming and support of grassroots organizations, activists and communities that often go unrecognized by major funding institutions.”

“We are at a time in history where the rights of LGBTQ2+ people are being revoked, restricted and eliminated throughout the world, and the effects are devastating,” Elliot said, before going into talking about the foundation, which he is a board member of, and the sisters’ work.

During their acceptance speech, Sara shared, “Receiving this recognition is meaningful, but also a reflection of the complexities our community faces today. If the world were not so hostile to 2S LGBTQ+ people, we would see ourselves purely as musicians. Advocating for our community’s rights is a great privilege, and we are dedicated to confronting any form of discrimination that threatens the well-being of our community.”
