Transmissibility: The “T’s” Not Silent — An Evening to Celebrate & Inspire

As trans issues and individuals are now seen in the White House, media and Hollywood, Transvisibility is at its peak. Or national lobbying organization here in Washington, the National Center for Transgender Equality is celebrating these successes while preparing for future challenges. All of the big names in the trans movement will be there.

Join us for a reception and presentation to learn about, celebrate, and support NCTE’s 13 years of being the loudest and most effective trans voice in Washington.

In the past year, the transgender movement has arrived at a significant tipping point. Awareness of transgender people is at an all-time high, and together we can push for more progress toward transgender equality.

Join us as we celebrate how far we have come. Together, we can inspire each other to do more. NCTE’s 13th Anniversary Celebration is an opportunity for us to celebrate our progress, spend a wonderful evening in the company of advocates and allies, and honor those who have done so much to advance transgender equality.
