Today, Saturday, Feb 15, stand up for Trans rights at Seneca Park (220 E. Chicago Avenue, 1pm-3pm). This is not just a protest; it’s a call to action.

Small talk has changed.
Things have shifted from the generic "how you doing?" to something deeper.
Folks in my life are being real with each other. We're sharing ideas, resources, and actions we can take against this administration.
The situation is not good. But I appreciate this new honesty.
