We know it's Trans Day of Visibility but cis folk - we're looking at you with this one! Visibility without safety isn't enough. This is why it's so important for cis allies to actively create space, push for change and uplift trans voices.

How many did you cross off?

🏳️‍⚧️ Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

To our trans, transgender, gender diverse, and non-binary community, we love and affirm you and who you are, every day.

Being visible doesn't just mean to be seen. It means to be supported and loved, empowered, given a seat at the table, allies to shoulder the hard times and stand alongside community.

We know that Trans people have always existed, have always been in our lives, and will forever be a vibrant and beautiful part of our community.

Join us tonight for our TDOV picnic in the Queens Gardens from 5pm - 7pm, BYO food/chair - all welcome.

💙💖🤍💖💙

To our allies reading this, today is the day to take another step towards more active and meaningful allyship. We need you to do this, trans people need you to do this.
