Every year on the third Wednesday in October Keshet celebrates International Pronouns Day, founded in 2018 as a grassroots project. We mark this day annually by sharing our favorite and most popular resources about what pronouns are, how to share them, and why getting them right is critical. Explore these offerings to find instruction and support for pronoun use in your personal life, at your workplace, and for your organization. And today, and everyday, let us commit to affirming one another’s pronouns.

Looking for more resources to support transgender and nonbinary people? Check out our Resources for Trans & Nonbinary People page.
