IN CELEBRATION of Transgender Flag Day

Today, August 19th, we honor Transgender Flag Day!
On this day in 1999, trans veteran Monica Helms created the blue, pink, and white flag that has become a powerful symbol of the transgender, non-binary, and gender-expansive community. This flag is more than fabric ; it represents visibility, safety, and belonging for trans people everywhere.

At TAKE Resource Center, we’re proud to celebrate this day and uplift the legacy of trans resilience and leadership. Our drop-in space, especially for Black and Brown trans folks, is rooted in building community and meeting people where they are. Through our holistic programs, we provide:
✨ Psychosocial group therapy
✨ Safe drop-in space
✨ Transportation support
✨ Crisis assistance funds
✨ Temporary housing through our Gloria’s Safe Haven Program
✨ Empowerment and educational retreats
✨ Leadership development through the Monica Roberts Freedom School

Join us in celebrating Transgender Flag Day by showing up, supporting, and giving back to the first Trans drop-in community center that continues to fight for justice, visibility, and joy.
