The Freedom to Be campaign is an ACLU-led initiative that seeks to center the voices and experiences of trans people in America through the creation of a mobile monument to be installed on the National Mall next year on Saturday, May 17.

This art installation will be comprised of individual quilt squares that are decorated by trans people from across the country as they answer the question, “What does it mean to be free as a trans person?” The campaign aims to shift the narrative about trans Americans by illustrating an affirmative vision of trans joy in which everyone can live as their true, authentic selves. 

The Pride Center of New Jersey will be contributing a 6 ft x 6 ft panel to this installation and we want your input! Throughout the first two weeks of April, we will reserve space at the Center for folks to drop by and contribute to our panel. All materials will be provided by the Pride Center.
