Organizing for Transgender Day of Visibility
Friday afternoon, join us in Old Town Square for a Transgender Day of Visibility demonstration.
Transfolks, non-binary, and other lgbtqia folks help demonstrate by showing up to our die-in with your flags of choice. Headstones can be made on-site or at home beforehand.
Let’s start the conversations around the realities trans and non-binary youth and adults face every day.
Content warning, this may be tough to view, allies welcome as well.
This type of demonstration is historical for our community, dating back to ActUP’s work in the 80’s during the AIDS Crisis.

Tessa Romano (they/them) will perform nonbinary cabaret songs about coming out, expression through hair, and gender affirming language. Playground Ensemble will perform with Silen Wellington’s poetry exploring the paradox of being both de-sexualized and hyper-sexualized as a transgender person, divulging and releasing the harassment they’ve experienced from cisgender men on dating apps.
