PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- In Philadelphia and across the nation, an organization named PFLAG advocates for LGBTQ+ individuals and their families to find safe spaces.

19-year-old Zach, a supporter of PFLAG, is no stranger to taking to the streets to protest legislation that could negatively impact those who are transgender.

"Being in the trans community, those anti-trans bills affect me and they also affect my friends," said Zach.

Watch our video above to see Zach's artistic skills and message of advocacy come to life on paper.

On National Parents Day, 6abc and other ABC stations will stream a 90-minute special sharing stories about people here in Philadelphia and across the county. You can watch on Sunday, July 23rd at 2:00pm wherever you stream 6abc.
