Today is transgender remembrance day.

We remember the 37 transgender and non-binary killed this year. We can do better.

#SayTheirNames

Some think granting our community the same rights as everyone else is unreasonable, it's not.

37 lives lost...

Disproportionately, transgender women and non-binary people of color are victims of violence.

A person's transgender status can force them into unemployment, poverty, homelessness and/or survival sex work which increases the risk of violence.
We need to do better.
