We are deeply honored to welcome Rachel Crandall-Crocker to Blue Water Allies to celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility on March 31st at 6:00pm. Rachel is the founder of Transgender Day of Visibility, an internationally recognized day that celebrates and honors the resilience of our transgender community. The following is from an interview by NPR with Rachel Crandall-Crocker on March 30th 2024.
In 2009, Crandall-Crocker wanted a reason to come together and feel joy with other members of the trans community. At the time, the only day she knew of was geared toward trans people was Transgender Day of Remembrance, on Nov 20th, dedicated to honoring the lives lost to anti-transgender violence.
"I wanted a day that we could focus on the living." Crandall-Crocker said. "And where we could have rallies all as one community all the way around the world."
Trans advocates from around the world caught on, launching rallies, block parties and festivals rooted in trans joy. In recent years, the U.S. government has recognized International Transgender Day of Visibility, and skyscrapers across the country have lit up with the colors of the transgender flag- light pink, light blue and white.
I have a disability," she added. "However, I changed the world. You don't have to be perfect. Come and change it along with me."
This celebration will be an Open Mic night hosted by Julianne Ankley & Michelle Chenard, so mark your calendars and let your voice be heard as we spread joy and uplift and support our transgender community!
