Intro
Hello! The Raise the Trans Flag event is a North Dakota digital event for Transgender Day of Visibility (March 31st) that does two things:
You can sign up for notification as we get closer to the event here! The purpose of this event is to share the joy, talent, and life of many trans people who call our state home. Not every town celebrates Transgender Day of Visibility and many trans youth don't have any adults they can look up to in local communities. This event is intended to spread hope all across North Dakota!
Event Hashtag: #RaiseTheTransFlag
- Encourages everyone to change their social media profile pictures to the transgender flag (🏳️⚧️) from March 24 through 31st. You can use the ones below or your own!
- Ends on March 31st at 9:00 PM with a video from trans people across North Dakota celebrating the joy of being themselves.
