🕯️ Transgender Day of Remembrance 🕯️
Today, we honor and remember the transgender individuals whose lives were lost to anti-transgender violence. This day calls us to reflect, to mourn, and to recommit ourselves to building a world rooted in respect, safety, and dignity for all people.
We stand in solidarity with the transgender community and affirm our commitment to compassion, inclusion, and justice. Every person deserves to live openly and safely as their authentic self. 🌈💜
