Transgender Day of Remembrance

Transgender Day of Remembrance - Online, Statewide Service

Every year on November 20th, we honor and remember the transgender, gender-nonconforming, and two-spirit individuals whose lives were taken due to anti-trans violence with Transgender Day of Remembrance. This day is a solemn reminder of the ongoing struggles our community faces and the urgent need for change.

Let’s come together in solidarity, paying tribute to those we've lost and reaffirming our commitment to fight for a world where everyone can live their truth without fear. We remember, we mourn, and we vow to continue our advocacy for justice, equality, and safety for all transgender people.
