National Day of Reading

Every year, communities across the country join HRC's Welcoming Schools program for its annual National Day of Reading: A Celebration of Trans Stories.

Description & History

After a national anti-LGBTQ+ hate group bullied a young transgender girl in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, her community rallied behind her by hosting a community reading of "I Am Jazz" by transgender advocate Jazz Jennings. Every year, in honor of the Mount Horeb community’s allyship, communities across the country join HRC's Welcoming Schools program for its annual National Day of Reading: A Celebration of Trans Stories.
