DC-dark-money-funded New York nonprofit placing “God Made Trans People” signs across Kansas
Seven billboards placed in Kansas City, Topeka, and Wichita areas
On Wednesday the Kansas Reflector reported New York-based Mayday Health was placing billboards across Kansas for the next four weeks: “God Made Trans People.”
Mayday Health is the name of Mayday Medicines Inc according to their tax filing with the IRS.
After Roe v Wade was overturned in 2022, Mayday promoted “how to get abortions even where they’re banned.”
Mayday’s current IRS 990 filing indicates they expanded from promoting abortion access to include “gender affirming” care, which is why they are now putting up billboards in Kansas.
DC-based Hopewell Fund, one of the Arabella Advisor’s funds (now Sunflower Services), gave $2.35 million to Mayday Health according to Hopewell’s tax filings in 2022-2023.
Other known large donors to Mayday include Global Impact [$300K] and the Packard Foundation [$300K].
According to a Linked-In page, Mayday Health founder and executive director, Liv Raisner, served in communications positions for several presidential campaigns:
Kamala Harris for President, 2024, head of paid digital video
Biden-Harris Transition Team, 2020-2021, traveling digital director
Biden for President, 2019-2020, traveling digital director
Hillary for America, 2015-2016, communications fellow and assistant to communications director
Vice President Joe Biden, 2013, speechwriting department
Raisner is traveling around Kansas now collecting testimonials for publication on social media.
Mayday Health pays Raisner a salary of $174K as executive director.
In 2024 the Hopewell Fund gave $860K to abortion providers in Wichita.
The Kansas Reflector’s parent organization, States Newsroom, was “incubated” by the same Hopewell Fund before they became an independent organization.
