Adkins, a resident of Williamstown, said that plans for a second Trans Pride March fell through because many of last year's organizers were unable to get involved this year, and not enough new volunteers stepped forward to fill their shoes.
"I think it became clear about a month ago. There have been notices going out on a lot of regional trans boards, and I stopped receiving messages back," said Adkins. "It was clear I probably could have done it on my own ... but last year was such an amazing event that anything that's going to be under the name Trans Pride and to have a half-hearted kind of event is not doing the whole thing justice."
