On March 31, we celebrate the achievements and contributions of transgender people everywhere. International Transgender Day of Visibility is also a day to draw attention to the discrimination and other issues the trans community faces.
Since taking office, Gov. Tony Evers has delivered a consistent message to trans people in Wisconsin: “You are loved, you are welcome, and we stand with you. As we celebrate the contributions that trans and non-binary people have made in Wisconsin and across the world, may we recommit ourselves to supporting equality for all. Our communities are strongest when all individuals are treated fairly and have equal opportunities under the law.”
Katie Bushman of Chippewa Falls, the mother of a non-binary child, told us about her wishes for a safe environment for her own child, and for all.

Support Our Cause
Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Wisconsinites and our future.
Since day one, our goal here at UpNorthNews has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Wisconsin families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
