SAFE ZONE Front

SAFE ZONE Back

Trans-e-motion is all-inclusive and publicly open to everyone and anyone, regardless of individual socioeconomic conditions, age, color, creed, disability, gender identity, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, family status, or military status.  The interests and concerns of all those that are transgender and gender-diverse, are valuable and should be heard and fairly represented.  This includes all classes, subgroups, and minorities.  Mutual benefit can be achieved by working with other organizations in the pursuit of civil and human rights.

Our main project is The International Transgender Day Of Remembrance every November the 20th.
An event held each year celebrating the lives given to further the rights, dignity, and acceptance of those persons transgender/transsexual.  There is food, entertainment, music, speeches, testimonials, a scroll of the names of the deceased, and an art exhibit.  The event usually begins about 6:00 p.m. and runs to around 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.  A luminaria and reading of the names usually follow the entertainment.  It has been our custom to not hold the event at the same place each year, or not repeat the location for at least five years or more.  We usually try to obtain a place large enough for the art exhibit, with a stage area, a place for catering, and, preferably, an atrium/patio area or garden.

                           THE SAFE ZONE SIGN  Responsibility Notice
Agreeing to display the pink triangle symbol means that this is a Welcoming, Accepting and Safe place for anyone and everyone, regardless of socioeconomic conditions, ethnic background, disability, nationality, race, religion, faith, creed, age, color, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, prisoner, ex-prisoner, citizenship status, family status, or military status!  Including all Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender/Transsexual, Questioning, Intersex, or Gender Diverse persons, as well as aliens, migrants, immigrants, minorities, classes, subgroups, and any and all seeking asylum/sanctuary and safety.
It is customary to host/offer rest, and any information that can and needs to be provided.  Brochures, flyers, posters, notices, or any other literature/reference/referrals should be as accessible as possible to anyone and everyone requesting assistance.
If for any reason the place/facility becomes UN-SAFE!, the pink triangle symbol must be reversed to show the STOP side.  This should indicate HELP from someone to return the place/facility to being SAFE!
