The March 4 Trans Rights rally and march took place in Denver on August 9, 2020. A few hundred people gathered for speeches and a march that started and ended at the Colorado Capitol.
The group said, “We are marching to raise awareness of transgender issues in Denver, increase our visibility and build a diverse coalition of advocates for transgender rights in our city.”
The event was not organized by an official organization, but rather a group of trans organizers in Denver wanting to rally together.
