Transgender Day of Visibility is an annual event that celebrates the joy and resilience of trans people and raises awareness about the discrimination and challenges faced worldwide. Lutherans believe that God values and embraces each person as a beloved child, that the Spirit gives a diversity of gifts for the common good, and that Jesus Christ calls us to work for justice. LAMPa also recognizes the challenges faced by transgender youth and is deeply troubled that many youth have to navigate bullying, discrimination, and attempts to censor their existence through book bans. Our children deserve learning environments where they can flourish academically, socially, and emotionally, free from bigotry and fear.

On March 27 at 12:00 p.m., make your voices heard at the Pennsylvania State Capitol front steps. Stand in solidarity with organizations like TAKE and the PA Coalition for Trans Youth who are raising voices in support trans kids in the Commonwealth. Show PA legislators that the faith community demands action that ensures the safety and equality of all our children. For those unable to join in person, we encourage you to seek out events in your local area commemorating Trans Day of Visibility and to support initiatives for all kids to be safe and included. Every act of solidarity contributes to change and compassion.
