Brazil can be a very violent and difficult country for its trans and travesti population. That's why our voices must be even louder.
To celebrate the historical moment of 20 years of trans visibility in Brazil, All Out decided to do something BIG - literally!
At the 1st National March for Trans Visibility, we flew a giant trans flag (almost 50ft long), with thousands of signatures from people all over the world sending their love and solidarity to trans folks and travestis in Brazil.
The Marsha – named after the iconic Marsha P. Johnson, one of the heroes of trans resistance worldwide – was a spectacular show of unity and strength!
Everybody, young and old, trans people and allies, came out to sign the flag, every signature a pledge of their solidarity and support.
But our flag's journey didn't end at the march!
The following day, in honor of the National Day of Trans Visibility in Brazil, All Out and ANTRA (National Association of Travestis and Transsexuals) met with Congresswomen Duda Salabert and Erika Hilton at the National Congress.
This milestone turned our flag into a public declaration: our campaign for trans rights will not stop.

And there's more!
After all this positive repercussion, our flag was considered a historical heritage and is now part of the National Congress Museum.
