On March 31st, we celebrate Trans Day of Visibility #TDOV! It's a special day for us to come together and celebrate our community. However, this year has been quite challenging for us. We have faced legislative pushback, and violence in supposed safe spaces, and are still unable to live our lives freely as we grieve loss after loss of our people like Righteous Torrence TK Hill, Nex Benedict, Alex Franco, and Diamond Brigman.Â
Visibility means something different to each one of us, but we are all grateful to have your support today and those to come. Whether you are an ally or a trans person, your support matters. It is also important to remember that true equality cannot be achieved without active allyship. This means educating and advocating for trans folks to obtain basic human needs and rights such as
Proper Wages
Affordable Housing
Gender-Affirming Care
Access to Healthy Foods
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion
Meaningful Collaboration
Remember we are not all free until our most oppressed are free.
Happy Trans Day of Visibility!
