Introductions!

I’m Jack Knoxville the founder and executive director of the Trans Empowerment Project, a nonprofit that empowers Disabled and BIPOC members of the 2 Spirit, Trans, Intersex, and Gender Expansive communities. Beyond my role at TEP, I’m also known as the first transgender man to run for political office in the southern United States and as an award-winning leader in equality.

After decades of overcoming personal and societal challenges, I’m seeking to secure a new, safe living space that supports my continued activism and leadership—a move critical for my personal autonomy and safety, and the safety of the communities I work to serve. In the wake of the 2024 elections and the ongoing rise in anti-trans legislation across the US.
