Hello John,  

As we lead up to Monday, March 31, Trans Day of Visibility, we invite you to come together to support our beloved trans community as we build a world where we can all thrive. We’ll be in-person at rallies for trans rights in Washington, DC, but our virtual event can be accessed from anywhere in the world!  

Check out these events and join us — we can’t wait to see you.  

VIRTUAL

Building Power and Solidarity Across Generations 

Virtual | Monday, 3/31 @ 7pm EST  

Join us for a powerful webinar, organized by a growing nationwide coalition of LBGTQ movement organizations, featuring nine powerful trans leaders and their allies of all ages. They will ground us in the work before us, connect us with one another, and uplift steps we can all take to build a world that is for all of us. Register now!  

IN-PERSON

American Teenager and the State of Trans Rights  

New York City | Friday, 3/28 @ 7pm EST 

Meet us at Hive Mind Books this Friday for an in-depth conversation on the state of trans rights featuring A4TE’s Rodrigo Heng-Lehtinen and author, Nico Lang, and author and activist Adam Eli. Nico will kick-off the event with a reading from his book: American Teenager, highlighting the stories of trans youth. RSVP here.  

Trans Day of Visibility Rally 

Washington, DC | Monday, 3/31 @ 4pm EST 

This rally, held just steps from the White House, will feature dozens of leaders – including our own Rodrigo Heng-Lehtinen! We’ll show a united front against this government’s attacks on the human rights and dignity of trans people. Even as this government breaks our systems and attacks our basic rights, we refuse to back down. Join us in the spirit of joyful defiance. RSVP here.

Protect Our Health: Make your voice heard! 

As we celebrate Trans Day of Visibility, we’re also working to protect our healthcare—and we need your support! This extremist administration is attacking trans healthcare by proposing new rules that would allow insurers to drop coverage for puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and gender-affirming surgeries in Affordable Care Act health plans. States that have expanded their essential health benefits to protect trans people, like Colorado and Vermont, would no longer be able to enforce those protections. If this rule goes into effect, healthcare discrimination against trans people would only get worse—leading to increased denial of care and poorer health for our community. Let’s flood them with comments and show our strength. Tell the Trump administration that we will fight for our care!  
 
No matter where you are in the country on this Trans Day of Visibility, we hope you'll join us virtually and help protect our healthcare.  

In Solidarity,
