Hey Everyone,

We’ve seen the comments and questions, and honestly, we get it. A lot of folks are tired of symbolic actions that don’t lead anywhere. So let us say this plainly: Inclusion Day x Denim Day isn’t just a photo op. It’s a full-scale civil rights action.

Yeah, we’re showing up in denim, but this is so much more than a fashion statement. We’re taking over part of DC with a real presence, launching a 30-day national boycott against major corporations that fund anti-LGBTQIA+ hate, and we’re calling out even the smaller players too. That includes privately owned DC businesses that backed MAGA or supported GOP-led rollbacks of our rights. It’s a bold move, yeah, but silence is complicity and we’re not playing soft anymore.

We’re pushing for federal protections, building real-time crisis networks, and preparing queer and trans youth to lead in the spaces where change actually happens. This isn’t performative. It’s pressure. And it’s only getting louder.

And let’s talk about where we actually are right now. MAGA and the GOP control the White House, both chambers of Congress, and the Supreme Court. That’s the brutal reality. And unless the left stops tearing itself apart over single-issue fights and starts showing the hell up together, it’s only going to get worse.

So this is us being honest. If you’re tired of the same half-measures, the same bureaucracy, the same bullshit, come build with us. We don’t need clout. We need power. Real, unapologetic, grassroots power.

April 30. National Mall. DC.
Be there. Make change.
