Moving with Joy, Claiming Our Space: Solidarity Events for Trans Pride Brighton

Movement is more than just physical activity; it is a way to claim our space, celebrate our visibility, and find joy in community. In solidarity with Trans Pride Brighton, our local community organisations are coming together to host a series of events centered around movement, strength, and togetherness.

Whether you are looking to run, play, or dance, these events are a celebration of our presence and a way to support the movement for trans liberation. Join us in showing that our community is active, vibrant, and moving forward together.
