SUCCESS!!! WE DID IT!!!
A BIG THANK YOU to all of the volunteers, vendors, and speakers, etc who made yesterday a wonderful success. None of what happened yesterday could be done without the amazing support of the community. I was personally so impressed by the volunteers who showed up in the morning and gave it there all to the very end, you all know who you are!
On that note. We continue to tirelessly work behind the scenes, mainly to get video and images from the event out to the public.
PHOTOS: If you took photos yesterday, and would like to share them with everyone, please send them to transpride@gmail.com along with your name so I can make sure photographers are credited. I will start adding them to the transpride website http://transpridemarch.org as they come in.
VIDEO: We had a few people that videoed the event. 1) Carlyn with Your Story Matters (Thanks to her, and everyone who agreed to speak with her about your experience) Carlyn is making a documentary about the event and we will let you know when that is available. 2) Working with Carlyn were a few other volunteers who taped the rally speakers. We are working on getting that video available to you online and I will let you know when that is available too. 3) I know many others were taking video, if you put it online, ie YouTube, please let me know so that we can spread the word.
Again, THANK YOU!!

Organizing and planning the first Transgender Pride March and Rally for New England. News, updates, and discussions about planning the march.
June 7, 2008, Northampton, MA
The first New England Transgender Pride March and Rally will be held on June 7, 2008 in Northampton, MA. The event is organized by members of the trans and gender variant community, and their allies, with the intent of taking a visible and positive stand for transgender rights. The March and Rally is dedicated to diverse representation among organizers and participants. We seek to educate and build awareness of the movement against gender-based discrimination. We promote self-acceptance and acceptance of our whole identities and lives. We gather to celebrate and affirm our individuality, diversity, and strength.
The Transgender Pride March and Rally 2008 seeks to:
- Build a community of compassionate and open-minded individuals who represent all gender expressions, and wish to unapologetically stand up for their civil and human rights.
- Address the institutionalized and intrapersonal racism, classism, ageism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, and discrimination faced by many trans and gender variant people on a daily basis.
- Promote the self-determination of all trans and gender variant people, in support of the International Bill of Gender Rights: http://www.transgenderlegal.com/ibgr.htm.
- Unite with one another and allies to speak out for social, economic, and political justice of under-represented and marginalized communities, and support the right of all communities to be heard.
