This week, Transgender Week of Resilience, Nov. 13-19 we honor and celebrate the lives of transgender people everywhere, leading to Transgender Day of Remembrance, Nov. 20.
We are a resilient, thriving community of families, business owners, elected officials, and your neighbors. We are in a moment of recognizing the harm we face through misinformation and disinformation thrown our way. We will not back down, we will not be erased. We are here to do more than survive, we will continue to thrive.
Participate in Transgender Day of Remembrance by attending and/or organizing an event on November 20 to honor transgender people. Engage in learning about transgender, gender nonconforming and intersex people, and the violence affecting the transgender community. Find events near your hosted by local transgender advocates and LGBTQ organizations below.
