Rally! Season 2, Issue 12: March 2023

Community & Culture

Transgender Day of Visibility #TDOV2023 is March 31. On PCA Social Media, folx and favorite orgs will be featured ALL MONTH LONG. We are looking inward to our PCA volunteers who identify as transgender, noncisgender, nonbinary, gender diverse, and/or gender nonconforming, and creating a space for all to speak outward in whatever ways bring joy!

"Visibility isn't for all nor should it be. Some people just want to blend in... and it's their right." - Valina Eckley (her/she) PCA Board Director.

Through individually-requested spotlight posts, we will elevate and celebrate PCA volunCHEERleaders who identify as transgender, noncisgender, nonbinary, gender diverse, and/or gender nonconforming. Through likes, follows, shares, and tags, we will promote visibility for causes and organizations doing great work around the country for this community. And, we promise to continue to elevate and celebrate our transgender family ALWAYS! It's not just #TransgenderDAYofVisibility... or #TransgenderMONTHofVisibility... its #TransgenderFamilyAlways. Keep your eyes on PCA social media this month, and engage! 

True Colors by CHEER DC

Cheer DC utilizes the positivity of cheerleading to elevate acceptance and equality. Their vision: to be a community leader in promoting spirit and unity through volunteering and charitable contributions. Cheer DC connects to its local community by partnering with DC area LGBTQ+ sports and music orgs, donating to local charities, cheering at Pride events, and proudly displaying the colors and symbols that are intimately connected with Washington, DC. It almost got a little *too intimate* on their first uniform, as the Cheer DC volunCHEERleaders explain in this True Colors video.
