Trans Pride Washington, DC is a community-driven organization founded nearly two decades ago by SaVanna Wanzer and led by trans individuals. We center the voices, experiences, and leadership of trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse people across the Washington, DC region.
Each year, we convene Trans Pride Washington, DC, a multi-day community gathering anchored by a full-day conference. The conference brings together learning, connection, and celebration through:
Conference sessions and workshops
A Community Fair featuring organizations, artists, authors, and interactive projects
The Engendered Spirit Awards, recognizing leadership and impact in our communities
The weekend also includes social events, including an evening community celebration and additional programming the following day, creating space for connection beyond the conference itself.
Our work is grounded in advocacy, education, and visibility—creating inclusive spaces where our communities can connect, share experiences, and thrive.
