Recognizing Our Diverse Community!
International Transgender Day of Visibility (often referred to as TDOV or Trans Day of Visibility) is an annual event occurring every March 31st since 2009. It’s a day dedicated to celebrating transgender people and raising awareness of discrimination faced by transgender people worldwide, as well as a celebration of their contributions to society. Since the first day of observance, it has since been spearheaded by the U.S.-based youth advocacy organization Trans Student Educational Resources. Read more about this HERE.
April 1st - 9th is Passover. Passover, in Judaism, is a holiday commemorating the Hebrews' liberation escape from slavery in Egypt and the “passing over” of the forces of destruction, or the sparing of the firstborn of the Israelites, when the Lord “smote the land of Egypt” on the eve of the Exodus. You can learn more about this HERE.
April is World Autism Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness, fostering understanding, and promoting acceptance of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). World Autism Awareness Day, observed on April 2nd, was established by the United Nations in 2007 to highlight the need for greater support, research, and inclusion for individuals with autism. This day, and the entire month, encourages communities worldwide to celebrate the unique strengths and contributions of autistic individuals while advocating for accessibility, early diagnosis, and resources that empower them to thrive. By increasing awareness and embracing neurodiversity, we can help create a more inclusive and compassionate world for all. Learn more HERE.
