“Transgender Day of Remembrance seeks to highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence. I am no stranger to the need to fight for our rights, and the right to simply exist is first and foremost. With so many seeking to erase transgender people — sometimes in the most brutal ways possible — it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice.” – Gwendolyn Ann Smith, Transgender Day of Remembrance founder
*Please note: No police uniforms are permitted at this event. Uniformed police presence conflicts with our commitment to centering those made vulnerable by systems. It also undermines the experiences of safety we want to offer. While these institutions are not invited, individual employees or members of law enforcement who are part of the 2S-LGBTQIA+ community or are allies are very welcome to attend as private citizens. They must be out of uniform.
