Raising Good Trouble ✊🏼
Making our demands as visible as ourselves 🎤
Guiding our intention as we organize for Trans Day of Visibility 2026 🏳️⚧️
What does it mean to be visible? 👀
In 2026, the limelight for trans people is unprecedented–we’ve become a household conversation. As we continue to fight for our rights, they are being incrementally stripped away from us. So what is the purpose of visibility in our struggle for liberation? it’s not enough to play defense, it’s imperative that we are as loud and proud of our wants and needs as much as we are of our existences. That’s why when we are visible: we build power through organizing. We must be strong, powerful, and organized leaders that take history and our future fate into our own hands.
This year’s theme is Raising Good Trouble. With the time, the moment, the people, and visibility we have, it’s important for us to declare that Trans Liberation is Global Liberation. Trans Resistance is the class struggle. As we know, none of us are free until all of us are free. Trans Liberation means building a world that fosters community, love, growth, and self-determination for all people. This world can only be built on a system where everyone has housing, healthcare, education, food - all the basic needs of human existence as basic human rights.
Visibility has always been a complicated question. Historically in the United States, some trans people have lived in stealth, or in the shadows. Significant reforms have been won by the movement for liberation. In the last decade or so, trans people have faced hyper-visibility in the form of tokenization and scapegoating.
It’s time for us to embrace the revolutionary spirit of our ancestors at Compton’s and Stonewall. We must assert a different kind of visibility - the visibility of a community that is organized to fight back. It’s our sacred responsibility to organize, politically educate, lead, and care for our people in our lifelong struggle for the better world we all deserve.
