"By promoting visibility, challenging stereotypes, and celebrating love in all its forms, we can pave the way for a world where non-monogamous families and relationships are not just accepted but celebrated. "The Week of Visibility is a movement-wide week of action dedicated to amplifying non-monogamous voices, identities, and experiences in order to dismantle stereotypes, promote acceptance, and celebrate how far we’ve come as a movement!" OPEN, the Organization for Polyamory and Ethical Non-monogamy, launched a Day of Visibility for Non-Monogamy in July 2023. Signing on were 40 organizations spanning poly to RA to swinging that put on at least 19 local public events and more online. OPEN ran a publicity campaign beforehand and offered graphics, text, and other resources to help users spread the word. See my article on the project and its background. For 2024, feedback from the member groups revealed a clear wish for a Week of Visibility rather than a day. So OPEN made it permanently a week in July, with different suggested themes for different days. The 2024 week was an even bigger success, hosting 50 events across six countries. For 2026 info sign onto OPEN's email list to keep up with developments, and/or join the discussions on OPEN's Discord server. "As OPEN focuses significant resources on our legislative advocacy work to secure non-discrimination protections across multiple cities, we're counting on you—our vibrant community—to make the Week of Visibility truly special. This is an opportunity for grassroots leadership to shine and for our movement to demonstrate its collective strength."
