Join us for a Trans Day of Visibility rally to celebrate trans existence and resistance! The Trump administration is actively trying to erase trans people from our communities and our history books…but we’ve always been here and always will be, and no politician can change that. Let’s remind them that we’re here, proud, and loud. Supportive allies are welcome.
2PM on Saturday, March 29
Independence National Park
5th and Market Street corner
If you’ve got art, stickers, or info on events celebrating trans people, feel free to bring ‘em to share. We can’t sell anything because of permit limitations, but that doesn’t mean you can’t share what you’re doing!
