San Francisco's first, historic Trans March in 2004 attracted a crowd estimated at 2,000. Last year's Trans March brought together 5,000-6,000 people for an amazing community-driven grassroots demonstration on the weekend of LGBT Pride. This year, we expect over 10,000 transgender people and allies, making it the largest transgender event in history! The Trans March is a national event, and New York City will have a Trans Day of Action as well on Friday June 23rd!
The Trans March is intended to:
* Demonstrate that the violence and discrimination directed against the transgender community will not be tolerated.
* Celebrate the struggles of the trans community for respect, acceptance, and civil rights.
* Build a supportive, unified trans community bringing together diverse genders, ages, and ethnic backgrounds along with our allies.
