Transgender Day of Remembrance (November 20, 2024)
Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) is recognized on November 20th every year to honor the memory of those who have lost their lives due to anti-transgender violence. Transgender Day of Remembrance is an important day of reflection and action for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and its allies.
“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.”
