Here at Arcadia Roller Derby we celebrate and uplift everyone. However, This week we celebrate and raise awareness for our Non Binary siblings!
We celebrate and acknowledge the diversity of all genders that sit outside of the traditional gender binary.
Although this week has only been celebrated since 2012 it is important to remember that non binary and those that are outside of the gender binary have always been around throughout history and will always be here!
Roller Derby welcomes everyone for who they are and creates a safe space for all!
