SANTA BARBARA — On Saturday, March 1st, 2025, the Santa Barbara community will stand in solidarity with a nationwide movement advocating for the rights and dignity of transgender people. The Transgender Unity March will take place at De La Guerra Plaza at noon, 20 East De la Guerra inviting transgender individuals, allies, and community members to join in support of equality and justice.
Across the country, transgender people are facing increasing threats, including policies that restrict access to healthcare, limit mobility, and endanger lives. The Transgender Unity March is a direct response to this growing discrimination, offering a platform for voices to rise against these injustices and for the community to demand action.
During the rally, organizers will outline specific policy measures Santa Barbara can implement to protect and uplift its transgender and gender-diverse residents. Following the gathering at De La Guerra Plaza, attendees will march down State Street to make their message visible and powerful. After the march, participants are encouraged to reconvene for further discussion and community organizing efforts.
Attendees are welcome to bring signs and banners to amplify the rally’s message.
