Hey! Don’t end Trans Day of Visibility or @trreadathon.bsky.social without putting EVERY SINGLE ONE of these FANTASTIC reads on hold at your local library. Trust us. 🏳️‍⚧️

Sorry! Everything is closed and we're wrapping up for this year. Now that we have a larger team we'll be able to have more lead time next year to get the word out. I appreciate the offer!!

Text Reads: ACTION ITEM.Thank you so much for supporting the 2026 Trans Rights Readathon. Fill out the exit survey (also the digital prize pool entry form) on our website. This helps the TRR volunteers to calculate approximately how many readers we reached, how many books we read, and how much money we raised for trans organizations and mutual aid this year. Check out the actions tab on our website to see how you can continue taking action to protect and advocate for the trans community beyond the TRR.

We'd love it if you took the time to fill out our exit survey, and if you donated or fundraised this year, you can win prizes. 💙💗🤍 The form is open through the end of the day at transrightsreadathon.carrd.co

In our volunteer chat, we’ve talked about programs that have specifically helped us. Some of our volunteers are raising money for organizations that helped THEM when they needed a hand, so they know exactly how much impact they have on individuals in their immediate community. (part 3 of 4)

Text reads: But with anti-trans legislation on the rise, many folks need real, tangible help beyond visibility and words of support.

Two book covers appear in the middle of the screen. On the left is A Fine Looking Soldier, and on the right is A Right Honorable Soldier, both by Jane Hadley. Text reads: Secret Soldier duology. Transmasc Civil War Romance Novels.

You know what we don’t love? Waking up in the morning to find that rights we had the day before have been stripped away. While working on this readathon, one of our volunteers lost the right to pursue transition in their state. Another lost the right to pee in public restrooms while visiting family.

A small logo of the Trans Rights Readathon appears in the bottom lefthand corner of the image. On a jewel-toned psychedelic background, text reads: PRIZE POOL.

On the right, a white nonbinary person wearing a Mothman makes an intense expression. A heart containing a nonbinary pride flag is superimposed over part of the image. Text reads: Coming Out for Charity. Two members of our leadership team are coming out to support Point of Pride. Help us plan our “gender reveal” parties! Details can be found on the main page of our website.

Text reads: Other events. We’ve been tagged by bookstores, creators, and authors who are running their own incentive campaigns. If you’re doing something, share it in the comments! And for those who can’t contribute financially: we totally get it. Keep an eye out for free promos and gifts on our page.

Psychedelic squiggles appear on all slides in multiple ombre tones. Text reads: Fundraising and the TRR. In addition to celebrating trans+ authors and stories, the readathon is a decentralized fundraiser. Here’s what we’re doing to encourage fundraising this year…

The Point of Pride logo appears in the middle of the page. Text reads: Auction. We’re hosting a 32Auction on behalf of Point of Pride, linked on the main page of our website.

Text reads: Digital Prize Pool. Authors, publishers, and other digital creators have contributed to a prize pool for folks who “give where they live.” Those who run their own fundraisers or contribute to campaigns will be eligible to enter!

An envelope graphic appears in the middle of the page. Text reads: Digital Prize Pool (part 2). International entrants can win without worrying about shipping costs. The entry form and instructions will be made available toward the end of the readathon.

Last year, our team got a little overwhelmed and our message about fundraising fell by the wayside. This year, we’ve added multiple ways to get involved!
