The ACLU continues to be a leader in work around trans rights and trans justice in Idaho, bringing our legal, policy and community organizing expertise to ensure that trans Idahoans and their families have equal rights and equal access.
In Idaho and across the country we are seeing trans people and their families come under attack by politicians and extremists who seek to interject themselves into decisions regarding peoples’ bodies, movements and lives.
So this summer, the ACLU is launching Freedom to Be.
Part Art Installation, Part Storytelling Project
Freedom to BE is an ACLU led initiative to center the voices and experiences of trans people in America through storytelling and the creation of a large monument to be displayed on the National Mall next year for Trans Day of Visibility. The art installation will be composed of hundreds of individual 6 x 6 panels, decorated by trans people, their families, and their loved ones from across the country answering the question: “What does Freedom to be me look like?” The goal is for this installation/storytelling event is to boldly put narrative control back in the hands of trans people and to emphasize what we are fighting for in the courts and in communities across the nation—to showcase the hope and possibility that can exist when people have the freedom to be themselves.
The ACLU of Idaho is doing its part to have Idaho-decorated Freedom to Be Panels included in the monument and we need your help.
