ABOUT TDOV
The Christopher Street Project (CSP) was founded in January 2025, and in just 1 year has become the leading voice for transgender rights on Capitol Hill. CSP envisions a future in the US where trans rights are never up for negotiation. We work to hold policymakers accountable on their commitments to trans people, advocate for the expansion of trans rights, and fight back against attacks on our existence.
On March 31, 2025, CSP led a collaboration with 12 organizations to host the primary Trans Day of Visibility (TDOV) rally and press conference on the National Mall. The rally featured over a dozen members of Congress, activists, and organizational leaders. More than 500 people attended the rally, and it was documented by 23 news outlets, including ABC, NBC, Washington Post, and Fox News.
After over a year of continued attacks on the trans community, the Christopher Street Project is bringing together more people than ever before from around the nation for TDOV to rally for trans rights, learn about key issues on the national landscape, and educate lawmakers on how to best serve our community. Event sponsors will have the opportunity to participate in events, show support for the trans community, and raise awareness of their work and brand in this community.
PROGRAMMING SCHEDULE
MARCH 26-28, 2026
MAR 26 • DAY 1
Education Forum — Law, Policy, and Practice
The TDOV Education Forum will give participants an opportunity to learn from experts and prepare to educate lawmakers on issues facing the trans community. Focusing on policy areas such as healthcare, mental health, veterans affairs, sports & fairness, and religious freedom, this forum will cover the basics and so much more of how our movement is shifting the narrative on transgender rights. This is a training to equip members of the trans community from around the country to advocate effectively for the issues that affect them personally.
MAR 27 • DAY 2
Capitol Hill Policy Education Day
Christopher Street Project will schedule meetings with members of Congress for groups of participants based on geographic area. Each group will present the message they crafted during the education forum. This is an incredibly unique opportunity for members of the trans community from around the country to make their voices heard in a national forum. CSP is giving those most closely affected by the issues at hand a platform to share their stories with decision makers. We will help equip our trans siblings with the tools they need to be effective advocates on a national and local level.
MAR 28 • DAY 3
National Trans Day of Visibility Rally
Last year, CSP launched into action as the sole group organizing a nationwide gathering for Trans Day of Visibility. We rose to the occasion and delivered a powerful grassroots display of power behind the trans community. This year, we are prepared to make the National Trans Day of Visibility rally even larger and more powerful than the last. We are expecting anywhere from 1,000 to 5,000 attendees. Speakers will include key voices in Congress, public figures such as last year’s Lena Dunham, and transgender activists.
