BlackLine is a 24-hour hotline geared towards the Black, Black LGBTQI, Brown, Native and Muslim community. However, no one will be turned away from the Hotline. The purpose of the BlackLine is to provide people with an anonymous and confidential avenue to report negative, physical, and inappropriate contact with police and vigilantes. Another component of the BlackLine is to provide immediate crisis counseling to those who are upset, need to talk with someone immediately, or are in distress.

Trans Lifeline
877-565-8860 Trans Lifeline's Hotline is a peer support service run by trans
people, for trans and questioning callers. Our operators are located all over
the U.S. and Canada, and are all trans-identified. If you are in crisis or
just need someone to talk to, even if it's just about whether or not you're
trans, please call us. We will do our best to support you and provide you
resources.
Our Hotline launched shortly after Trans Day of
Remembrance of 2014 in response to the epidemic of suicide in our community.
We believe that some of the best support that a trans person in crisis can
have is a fellow member of our community with shared lived experience.
