LGBTQ communities, backed by our loved ones, are fighting for a world where everyone can thrive. The current administration is trying to divide us in order to rule us. They are targeting transgender people with illegal executive actions that restrict our access to health care, jobs, and our true identities, while also attacking migrant, Black and Muslim folks. They are trying to overwhelm and divide us, but we have power together.

Action Alert: Big Gay Dance Party: Trans Day of Visibility!

Mark your calendars! On March 31, we’re turning up the volume and taking up space outside of the Governor’s Office for a Big Gay Dance Party in honor of Trans Day of Visibility!

Why? Because visibility matters. Because joy is resistance. Because every trans, nonbinary, and LGBTQIA+ person deserves to be seen, celebrated, and supported.

You’ve definitely never heard anything quite as cool as Cold Chocolate!
