2021 has really put the “Awareness” in Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week, with a growing number of US States and Cities issuing proclamations in recognition of aromanticism.
Proclamations are a way for United States officials like governors to formally recognize celebrations and awareness weeks. For more information on how to submit a request to your state, TAAAP’s has drafted a handy dandy guide to help you through the process. While it may be a little late for 2021, there’s nothing to stop you getting a jump start for 2022!
It’s not just the United States that get to have all the fun however! Guidelines on how to get ASAW recognised in your city, state or country are often less formalised outside of the United States, and will depend heavily on where you live, but it never hurts to reach out to your local council or representative to see if they’ll help you raise awareness!
Below we’ve listed every state, city or other kind of area that has recognised ASAW in any capacity! Can you find where you live?

Wondering what the green, white, grey and black striped flag currently flying at our town halls represents? 🟢⚪️⚫️ Yarra flies the Aromantic flag in recognition of Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week, acknowledging those whose experience of romance is disconnected from normative societal expectations or who experience no romantic attraction.
