“Every Day is Trans Day of Visibility – #365TransVisibility,” is a new social media campaign by Amida Care in partnership with Colectivo Intercultural TRANSgrediendo, Community Healthcare Network (CHN), Destination Tomorrow, NEW Pride Agenda, and New York Transgender Advocacy Group (NYTAG). Launched on March 31, International Transgender Day of Visibility, the initiative will consist of a series of social media posts highlighting trans leaders, advocates, and personalities making a difference in their communities and beyond.
Visibility is power. As attacks on our trans communities continue, ensuring that trans voices, leadership, and stories are seen and celebrated—not just on March 31, but every single day—is more important than ever.
The campaign hashtag is #365TransVisibility, with posts on Facebook, Instagram and X. Follow and share our social media posts throughout the year, featuring the words and stories of inspiring trans leaders including Lorena Borjas, Sean Coleman, Marissa Miller, and many others.
