Transgender Day of Remembrance is an opportunity for communities to come together and remember transgender, gender nonbinary, and biologically intersex people, and those perceived to be transgender who have lost their lives over the last year from transphobic violence.

The Transgender Day of Remembance service raises public awareness of hate crimes against transgender people, mourns and honors the lives lost, gives allies a chance to sept forward and commit to action to create safe transgender inclusive communities, and gives local transgender people the opportunity to witness non transgender people literally standing in support.
