Transgender Day of Remembrance 2021: Events & Info

Share

November 18, 2021

  • Raises awareness of hate crimes against transgender people.
  • Memorializes the lives lost by anti-transgender violence.
  • Empowers allies to become upstanders by speaking out against violence and discrimination.

“Transgender Day of Remembrance seeks to highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence. I am no stranger to the need to fight for our rights, and the right to simply exist is first and foremost. With so many seeking to erase transgender people – sometimes in the most brutal ways possible – it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice.”

–Transgender Day of Remembrance founder Gwendolyn Ann Smith
