What is Trans & Caffeinated?

Trans & Caffeinated (T&C) Communications, by Arielle Rebekah, partners with progressive organizations to bring clarity, coordination, and bold communication to the work of justice. With a commitment to queer and trans liberation, we offer project management and strategic communications rooted in care, collaboration, and caffeinated momentum—because getting free deserves a plan.

About Arielle Rebekah

Arielle Rebekah is a queer, trans, disabled, anti-Zionist Jewish organizer and activist based in the unceded land of The Council of Three Fires, currently known as Chicago, IL.

 

Through their writing, public speaking, project management, and communications strategy development, they seek to create the broadest possible “we”—a contingent of people who come together across race, class, genders, and political ideologies to fight for the world we all deserve.

 

An admirer of media’s ability to shape culture, Arielle’s all-time favorite show is The Good Place. This understatedly profound and thoughtful comedy dares to dream of a world in which rather than being punished for their mistakes, people are given the love and support they need to do good.

Why Work With T&C?

The Revolution Must Be Organized

We believe that visionary work needs solid infrastructure. We partner with organizations to streamline their projects, ensuring clear goals, realistic timelines, and coordinated execution—all while staying grounded in your values and mission. Whether you’re managing a campaign, launching a new initiative, or juggling multiple priorities, we bring structure to the chaos without sacrificing creativity or political integrity.

Our approach reduces burnout, minimizes miscommunication, and creates space for your team to focus on what matters most: the work of liberation. With careful planning and collaborative tools, we help you turn big ideas into actionable strategies that build power and deliver real impact.

The Revolution Must Communicate

We create strategic, authentic messaging that speaks directly to the communities you care about and mobilizes support for your cause. With a deep understanding of movement ecosystems and the lived experiences of marginalized people, we help organizations move beyond performative language to craft communications that resonate, inspire, and build trust.

Whether you’re launching a campaign, responding to a crisis, or sharing your story, we help you cut through the noise with clarity and intention. Our work strengthens your connection to the people at the heart of your mission—fostering lasting relationships, growing your base, and deepening your impact.

The Revolution Must Include Everyone

Our work is rooted in a long history of bridging movements—linking trans liberation with the struggles of disabled, migrant, Black, and Indigenous communities, and fighting in solidarity with those most impacted by American imperialism.

We lead projects that center those most marginalized, crafting narratives and strategies that reflect the interconnectedness of our fights and the collective power of our people.

By honoring the wisdom and leadership that emerges from the margins, we help build a future where no one is left behind—no matter our race, class, or genders.

Vision Statement

Trans & Caffeinated envisions a world where all people are free to be our authentic selves—no matter how much money is in our bank accounts, the color of our skin, or our genders.

We believe strategic communications is the glue that binds this vision of the future together, and that by cultivating a generation of effective communicators we can bridge divides, deepen relationships, and build stronger, more sustainable movements that benefit us all.
