Marci Taitt, MSW, is the Project Coordinator for the National LGBTQ Institute on Intimate Partner Violence, a joint project of the NW Network of Bi, Trans, Lesbian and Gay Survivors of Abuse and the National Coalition of Anti Violence Programs. Marci is primarily responsible for technical assistance and training coordination, but wears many hats at the Network, including having facilitated the weekly all gender DV support group, supervising and supporting MSW students to build bridges between on-the-ground advocacy and coursework, and the development of new training content which centers and elevates Queer & Trans communities of color. She completed her MSW at the University of Washington in 2015, with a concentration in mental health practice and a research focus on trans-inclusive primary education. Marci brings a wealth of experience working in grassroots LGBTQ organizations and movement and is currently working to develop training content around activism, death in community and grief.
