🏳️⚧️ TRANSGENDER RALLY – FOR OUR RIGHTS
Friday, June 5, 2026 | 4–6 PM
Old Courthouse Square, Santa Rosa
As part of Sonoma County Pride 2026 and our theme, “Pride & True: Advance, Advocate, Act Up,” we invite you to join us for our Transgender Rally — a bold and necessary gathering to uplift, support, and defend our transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive community.
This is more than a rally. It’s a call to action.
Across the country, transgender people continue to face escalating attacks — especially transgender youth and people of color. Discriminatory legislation, barriers to healthcare, harmful rhetoric, and rising violence have created an increasingly hostile and dangerous climate. In the face of these efforts to erase and marginalize transgender lives, we advance, we advocate, and we act up — visibly, vocally, and unapologetically.
On Friday, June 5, join us in Old Courthouse Square as we stand in solidarity and resistance. Together with local organizations, community leaders, and advocates, we are creating a space rooted in visibility, power, and hope. Expect passionate speakers, community resources, and a unified call for justice.
We rally behind our transgender siblings — for their future, and for the community we believe in:
One where everyone has the right to live openly, safely, and with dignity.
✨ Advance. Advocate. Act Up. Show up in love and protest.
Sonoma County stands proudly with our trans community — today and always.
