The first New England Transgender Pride March and Rally will be held on June 7, 2008 in Northampton, MA. The event is organized by members of the trans and gender variant community, and their allies, with the intent of taking a visible and positive stand for transgender rights. The March and Rally is dedicated to diverse representation among organizers and participants. We seek to educate and build awareness of the movement against gender-based discrimination. We promote self-acceptance and acceptance of our whole identities and lives. We gather to celebrate and affirm our individuality, diversity, and strength.
MARCH AND RALLY | June 7th | 11am | Northampton, MA
Countdown to the March!:
For those of you spending the night in Northampton we are trying to arrange a deal at a queer friendly hotel. I will post this information as soon as it becomes available, most likely 5/8/08.
Though you do not have to be registered to march on June 7th, we would appreciate if you could fill out this form so that we have a general idea of how many people will be marching and so that we can organize groups with banners more effectively.

We have a new location for our rally.
Unfortunately, Veteran’s Field is unavailable due to re-seeding this year. We are moving our rally site to the Armory Street parking lot - the same location where Noho Pride is held. We hopefully will have less wheelchair accessibility issues with this location as well.
We’ve also secured sign language interpreting, so please let people know that this is an ASL interpreted event.
