Transgender Day of Visibility 2026

Transgender Day of Visibility March 31, 2026 Transgender and nonbinary people are an indispensable part of Boulder’s community fabric. On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate the authenticity, contributions, and joy that transgender people bring to the City of Boulder. This day of visibility was founded by transgender advocate Rachel CrandellCrocker in 2009 to ensure that, in addition to honoring trans lives lost to violence, living members of the trans community are celebrated for who they are. Transgender people face escalating attacks in Colorado and across the country that threaten their safety, dignity, and ability to live openly. Access to necessary healthcare, public facilities and programs, and basic recognition of their identities have been threatened in an attempt to marginalize cherished members of our community. The City of Boulder is committed to not only resisting attacks on transgender people’s freedom but also ensuring that all members of the transgender community are uplifted and given the opportunity to thrive. The city will continue to advocate for robust community programs, partnerships, and policies that affirm and protect transgender community members. The city embraces visibility as a powerful act of inclusion and respect, recognizing that when transgender people are seen, supported, and celebrated, barriers to participation are reduced and a stronger sense of belonging is fostered across the community. Visibility also helps challenge stigma, creating space for greater understanding and connection among neighbors, coworkers, and families, and reinforcing Boulder’s commitment to equality. We call upon all community members to join in recognizing the resilience and contributions of transgender people, stand against discrimination in all forms, and work toward a future where all people can live openly, safely, and with dignity. We, the City Council of the City of Boulder, Colorado declare March 31, 2026, as

Transgender Day of Visibility
