The National Trans Visibility March (NTVM) was founded in 2019 with a clear purpose: to uplift and protect trans lives, to demand equity, and to turn visibility into real systemic change.
What began as a historic march in Washington, D.C. has now become a national platform for collective action; mobilizing thousands of trans people and allies to challenge injustice, build policy power, and fight for a future that centers safety, dignity, and leadership for all trans people.
Each year, we gather not only to be seen, but to be heard. To call out violence. To celebrate community. To organize for laws that protect us. And to remind the world: trans people are not an afterthought—we are a force.
Our Vision
We envision a world where trans people are not only visible; but influential, protected, and free.
The National Trans Visibility March is a movement rooted in unity, policy power, and purposeful action. We exist to uplift trans lives, shift systems, and shape a future where trans people lead boldly and live safely, without compromise.
Our Mission
The National Trans Visibility March (NTVM) mobilizes trans communities and our allies across the nation to take bold, collective action toward equity, justice, and systemic change.
Through advocacy, policy engagement, community power, and global coalition-building, we work to protect trans lives, advance meaningful legislation, and ensure that visibility is always tied to impact.
Who We Are
The National Trans Visibility March is led by a Board of Strategy Directors composed of trans leaders across the country—experts in organizing, public policy, law, healthcare, safety, military leadership, and advocacy. Together, we build a movement that reflects the power, diversity, and lived experiences of our community.
