DelCo Trans & Queer March & Flag Raising
Our response. We are not going anywhere. We're fighting back and pushing back the lines! If you need resources and services, please reach out to the center in the meantime.
This year, TDOV holds particular significance as our communities face unprecedented attacks on their rights and mere existence across the country. From bans on gender-affirming healthcare to restrictions on trans youth participation in sports and education, these actions have created an urgent need for visible support and solidarity.
We are calling on you to stand with us for the Inaugural DelCo Trans March and Trans Flag Raising Ceremony on Sunday, March 30th, from 12 PM to 3 PM at the Delaware County Courthouse. The March will begin at 12:30 PM and conclude by 1:30 PM, followed by a historic moment—the County will raise the Trans flag for TDOV for the first time ever in solidarity with our community.
Schedule:
March assembly - 12:00 PM
March starts - 12:30 PM
March ends - 1:20 PM
Community Speeches - 1:30 PM
Delaware County’s first annual Trans Flag Raising Ceremony - 2:00 PM
Closing - 2:30 PM
Parking
Free parking located in the Orange Street Parking lot.
Avoid street parking on Front, State Street, and Veterans Square.
Fundraiser
At the UDTJ Community Center, we’ve worked hard to ensure trans people in Delco have access to resources, support, and safe spaces. But what we don’t have—what our community desperately needs—is real financial backing for visibility and protection.
As the organizers and founders of Delco Pride, we felt it would be disingenuous to let Trans Day of Visibility pass without a major action. In a time when trans rights are under attack, we must fight back. That’s why we’re hosting Delco’s First Trans March—a powerful stand for visibility, safety, and community strength.
We just need 80 people to donate $25.00 to help us cover the costs of this inagurual march for Trans & Queer rights and existence.
