TRANS DAY OF ACTION
Calling all Trans and Gender Non-Conforming People to our 14th Annual Trans Day of Action!
FRIDAY JUNE 22nd PIER 45
We invite you to join TransJustice and come celebrate the ways we resist by mobilizing, and honoring the pier as a historic home-space for TGNC communities. Through this march we move towards demanding access to both public and private spaces without fear of harassment or brutality.
In an effort of redefining and reclaiming public space, we encourage folks to organize contingents for Trans Day of Action. A contingent is 5 or more people and will be listed as a contingent on Trans Day of Action materials.
On this day, we take to the streets and demand the right to make decisions about our bodies, expressions, specifically by taking up space where we’re told there is none.
Accessibility: Nearest Accessible train, bathroom info
W 4th St Station-- Elevator at NE corner of Sixth Avenue and 3rd Street
Restroom Access-- Pier #45 has accessible restrooms that will be open and available throughout the event.

¿Qué haremos? - Les invitamos a unirse a TransJustice para que celebremos las formas mediantes las cuales creamos resistencias, específicamente, mediante una protesta movilizada. A su vez, honraremos los muelles como un lugar histórico, una querencia para las poblaciones trans y de géneros no-conformes. Mediante esta marcha exigimos acceso a los espacios tanto públicos como privados y que nuestra participación en ellos rechace la fricción hostil o violenta que los caracteriza.
