International Transgender Day of Visibility is celebrated every year on March 31st. This year's theme is “Surviving, Thriving”. The theme acknowledges the number of major transgender achievements in the past 12 months. In an increasingly transphobic political climate, the community is not only surviving, they are thriving. We must use this newfound visibility to mobilize against oppression. Speaking out, taking action, and educating others is critical. Center Action Network is proud to celebrate and honor our transgender and non-binary community center leaders. #tdov #transthriving
