CARRBORO, NC -- Transgender Day of Visibility in the Town of Carrboro is Tuesday, March 31  2026, as proclaimed by Mayor Barbara Foushee. 

The Town of Carrboro stands with, celebrates, and defends its transgender residents and employees, and supports the mission of the International Transgender Day of Visibility.

Residents are asked to celebrate our transgender community, to educate ourselves about the contributions of transgender people, and support our transgender community’s efforts to achieve equity and full inclusion in our society. The transgender community includes all those whose gender does not align with the sex they were assigned at birth, including many non-binary and third gender people.

This observance started in 2009 by trans elder and activist Rachel Crandall-Crocker in response to the lack of visibility for transgender people and the focus of that limited public attention on violence and cruelty against transgender people. 

The Transgender Pride Flag will be flown at Town Hall in honor of the holiday from Friday, March 27 through Thursday, April 2, 2026.

Read the full proclamation.
