Caminar honors International Transgender Day of Visibility on March 31

 Caminar honors International Transgender Day of Visibility, which is held annually on March 31. This is a day to celebrate transgender and non-binary people around the world and recognize the courage it takes to live openly and as their true selves. Advocates also use the day to increase awareness around the discrimination and violence that trans people encounter.

We also celebrate the recent confirmation of Dr. Rachel Levine as assistant health secretary, which makes her the first openly transgender federal official approved by the Senate.
