Transgender Day of Remembrance
The Transgender Day of Remembrance, or TDoR, is observed annually on November 20th. It's a day to remember and honor transgender people who have been lost to violence due to anti-transgender prejudice.
TDoR began in 1998 following the murder of Rita Hester. Since then, it's grown into a global event with vigils, memorials, and educational programs raising awareness about the high rates of violence faced by the transgender community, particularly transgender women of color. TDoR serves a crucial purpose. It allows people to grieve those lost while calling for action. By remembering the victims and speaking out against transphobia, TDoR works to create a safer and more accepting world for transgender people everywhere.
Remember
We remember their stories, their resilience, and their fight for a world where all can live authentically. We honor the memory of transgender and gender-expansive individuals whose lives were tragically cut short by anti-transgender violence.
Protect
Transgender people continue to face disproportionate rates of violence and discrimination. We must work together to create a more just and equitable world where transgender individuals are safe, respected, and celebrated.
