Your Invited to the Transgender Day of Visibility Rally in Montana

Good afternoon on this beautiful Friday! 

I rarely send out an “all-points bulletin,” but I’m writing today from a place of deep passion and urgency. 

I want to extend a personal invitation to join me for the Transgender Day of Visibility Rally in Helena on Monday, March 31st. Here’s the event link with details.

As many of you know—or maybe haven’t known—I am a queer person. I also walk through the world as a pagan, a witch, a psychic, an artist, a teacher, a survivor of many things, a neuro-divergent person, someone who has experienced both middle-class comfort and deep economic struggle. I live at the intersection of identities that are often invisible or misunderstood.

I have friends, family, and community members who are being directly and painfully impacted by the legislative acts targeting LGBTQ+ people in our state and across the country. These aren’t just policies. They’re messages—messages of exclusion, blame, and fear, aimed at people simply for being themselves.

These aren’t just policies. They’re messages—messages of exclusion, shame, judgements, blame, and fear, aimed at people simply for being themselves.

I want to be clear: I am being targeted, just like the so-called “others” you may or may not personally know. I no longer have the privilege to stay quiet, to be silent in the shadows just because I appear unaffected. These laws and this rhetoric affect me. For they will not stop with "just" the LGBTQ+, they will come for those of different faiths, heritage, and especially those who stand at the intersection of many roads.

They affect all people. And perhaps even more painfully, they affect those who don’t have the privilege or safety to speak up.

So, I’m speaking up now . I will not be a victim of someone else's fear.

I will stand to lead, if just to show others how to be ok with their own voice, their own power, their own ability to rise above the fear. I ask you, please, to join me; so that I am not alone, unheard, and unseen in my efforts.

If you live in Montana and you know me—or if you know someone, who’s part of this larger LGBTQ+ family —I hope you’ll stand/be with me. Let’s not let silence be mistaken for indifference. Let’s not leave each other to face this alone. None of us can afford to be alone, isolated, unheard, and their choice taken from them.

If you’d like to join me—or if you want to gather your own carload and show up in solidarity—I would be so honored by your presence.

And I want to say this clearly too:There is no shame, fear, judgement or disappointment for those who can’t attend. Everyone has their own realities—jobs, families, health, safety, and energy levels. Showing up in support looks different for everyone. What matters most is that we find ways—big or small, public or quiet—that align with our values and capacities.

Now is the time to be visible. Now is the time to be loving. Now is the time to be loud in our support, in whatever way we can.

If anything I invite you to reflect from a place of curiosity. Please take care or yourself, be kind to yourself. 

With gratitude for your compassion and care, Red MoonEagle
