Trans Action Week

A rectangular flyer with a dark blue and teal watercolor design at the top reads: “Trans Action Week, November 17–21” in large pink and purple text. Below, each day’s event is listed inside a rounded gray or light blue box with a red date marker on the left. At the bottom, against a pink background, text reads: “This event centers the experiences of transgender students. Participation is limited to current UC Davis students, staff, and faculty.”

Various Locations

Trans Action Week (Nov 17–21) is a time to honor, uplift, and center the lives and experiences of transgender and gender-nonconforming students. Learn about trans advocacy through the years, celebrate ballroom culture and arts, and join a vigil and march for Trans Day of Remembrance to honor those whose lives were taken by anti-trans violence. This program centers the experience of transgender students, though anyone from the UC Davis community is welcome to attend. This includes students, staff, and faculty.

This week is about building community, amplifying trans voices, and affirming that trans lives are powerful, resilient, and deserving of joy and justice. See below for the list of programs:
