Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance
Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) is an annual observance on November 20 that honors the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.
The week before TDOR, people and organizations around the country participate in Transgender Awareness Week to help raise visibility for transgender people and address issues the community faces.
Since the last TDOR, LGBTQ+ civil rights organization GLAAD has recorded that 30 transgender individuals have been killed by acts of violence against them.
