The Transgender Equality Rally last Tuesday was an overwhelming showing of love and support by and for the Transgender community in Memphis.
A huge thank you to the many partner organizations and groups that helped to make this event a success!

A special thank you to all of the speakers who shared their wisdom, passion, hopes, dreams, and fears with the gathered crowd. The rally included a combination of planned speakers and speakers from the crowd who were moved to speak. We are so grateful for each and every person who spoke at the rally!
No event like this would be possible without volunteers, and both OUTMemphis volunteers and volunteers from our many partners helped to transform the Greensward into a rally (and then back into a park). Thank You!
Thank you to Overton Park Conservancy for hosting us.
