Show your support and honor those we have lost. Join us in remembering the transgender community on Transgender Day of Remembrance.
Let's come together to honor Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 20th. This day was created in 1999 by Gwendolyn Ann Smith, a transgender activist, to memorialize the countless lives lost due to transphobic violence and discrimination around the world. It is a time for people from all walks of life - regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation - to unite in solidarity with transgender individuals and communities. By celebrating this day we can help support human rights worldwide while honoring those who are no longer here with us today.
Take the time to attend a local Transgender Day of Remembrance event. This is a great way to show your support and take part in honoring the transgender people who have been killed due to hatred.

Every November 20th, Transgender Day of Remembrance is a time to honor those who have been lost to anti-transgender violence in the past year. This day serves to recognize and remember transgender individuals who are victims of hate crimes, and it helps keep their memory alive.
The Transgender Day of Remembrance also brings attention to the discrimination that transgender people still face today. It serves as a reminder that much work remains to be done in terms of fighting for equal rights and protecting transgender lives around the world.
Through its powerful message of remembrance, Transgender Day of Remembrance can help raise public awareness about issues affecting the transgender community. It also encourages people to take action and get involved in activism or advocacy against anti-transgender violence and discrimination.
