Transgender Day of Visibility

The Green Party of the United States stands in solidarity in honoring Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV), March 31st. Since 2009, TDOV has been a day to celebrate the lives, contributions, and resilience of transgender people, and to recommit to the ongoing struggle for their rights.

This year, that recognition comes at a time of intensifying attacks.

Across the country, transgender people, especially trans youth, have been targeted by an unprecedented wave of legislation, executive actions, and political rhetoric aimed at restricting healthcare, education, and even the basic right to exist openly and safely.These are not abstract policy debates; they are direct assaults on human dignity, safety, and survival.

Too many elected officials in the parties of War and Wall Street have failed to meet this moment with the clarity and courage it demands. While conservatives have driven these attacks, leaders in the so-called opposition party have too often stayed silent—or worse, treated the rights and safety of trans people as politically expendable.

The Green Party of the United States rejects compromise when it comes to fundamental human rights. We stand firmly with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, and all gender and romantic minority communities; not just in words, but in policy and action.

Our National Lavender Green Caucus represents LGBTQIA+ members and allies within the party. If you’re eligible, we invite you to join and help strengthen this work.

We believe that meeting this moment requires bold, systemic solutions, including:

A comprehensive national healthcare system that guarantees full access to gender-affirming care, as well as behavioral, dental, hearing, and vision services.
Explicit protections against discrimination in healthcare based on gender identity, sexuality, race, nationality, or income
Increased funding for HIV/AIDS research and prevention
A guaranteed living wage and a serious commitment to ending homelessness, which disproportionately impacts LGBTQIA+ youth
Inclusive, affirming K-12 education and free public education through college
Ending mass incarceration and the War on Drugs, which disproportionately harm queer and trans people, especially in communities of color

At a time when trans people are being pushed out of public life, we affirm something simple but powerful: trans people belong everywhere. Visible. Valued. Liberated.

No other national political party matches the Green Party’s commitment to the liberation of all people, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or sex.

Your continued support helps ensure that candidates and organizers committed to these values have the resources to fight—and win. Please consider supporting or getting involved today.

In Solidarity,

Daniel Bumbarger
Co-Chair, National Lavender Green Caucus
