Trans Visibility Passport Day
|
|
"Please help us spread the word to community members."
The Spectrum Center and the School of Social Work Office of Global Activities are collaborating to host Trans Visibility Passport Day.
Individuals may apply for and/or renew a passport, request a name change, and/or update their gender marker with the Washtenaw County Clerk's office. Trans Visibility Passport Day is also open to students and community members who need to apply for a first time passport, without needing to update a gender marker or make a name change.
The School of Social Work has committed to paying the passport costs for any student in our school who has financial need and is applying to update their name and/or gender markers. Additionally, the Spectrum Center has some funding for this purpose as well.
Date:
Thursday April 11th , 10-2 pm
Location:
School of Social Work Room 3661
