  • November 13 2026: Flag Raising for Transgender Awareness Week

    During Transgender Awareness Week, every year from November 13th to 19th, individuals and organizations recognize the experiences and contributions of transgender and gender diverse people and communities. The week-long celebration leads up to the Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 20th, an annual observance honoring the lives lost to acts of transphobic violence and systemic oppression.

    Whether you are celebrating your trans pride or engaging in education and advocacy as an ally, Transgender Awareness Week is a time for showing up, speaking up, and supporting one another.
