Aro-Spectrum Awareness Week Proclamation

Aromantic-spectrum Awareness Week begins on February 21st, 2021, but the work for it begins now! As of the end of 2020, 6 states in the US have officially recognized Ace Week (updated to include Virginia), yet no states have recognized ASAW. Luckily, the process for requesting your state to recognize ASAW is fairly simple, and we at TAAAP are here to make it even easier. Submitting a proclamation request to your governor or mayor is a 5 step process:

The Ace and Aro Advocacy Project (TAAAP) is an organization dedicated to providing resources on asexuality and aromanticism to the public. TAAAP operates on a local level by working with other LGBTQ+ organizations in the DC Metro Area, as well as on the national level by working with other ace and aro advocates to further the national movement.

TAAAP’s goals are to increase the visibility of ace and aro identities, to provide resources on asexuality and aromanticism to professionals (e.g. doctors, mental health professionals, educators), and to support ace and aro members of society. Please visit our projects page to see what we are currently doing to further these goals.

TAAAP is closely partnered with Aces and Aros of the Mid-Atlantic, a social Meetup.com group for asexual- and/or aromantic-spectrum people in DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
