  • Transgender Day of Visibility Flag Raising

    Featured
    Newburyport City Hall 60 Pleasant St, Newburyport, MA, United States

    Monday, March 31, Newburyport City Hall, 10am. You are invited to join members of the LGBTQIA+ community and allies at the second annual Transgender Day of Visibility flag raising at the Newburyport City Hall on Monday, March 31 at 10 am. Founded in 2009, Transgender Day of Visibility is an annual event observed internationally that aims to celebrate transgender people and their contributions while raising awareness about the discrimination and challenges that transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming people face. For those who do not identify as trans or nonbinary, this is an opportunity to show support loudly and proudly for a community that is confronting hate, mis- and disinformation, and unprecedented legislative and executive efforts to disempower, invalidate, and marginalize. Rev. Rebecca will offer a blessing at the flag raising.
