In Honor of Transgender Day of Remembrance

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance, a moment to honor the trans and gender-diverse people who are no longer with us. As we remember them, we’re reminded that honoring their lives means more than looking back. It’s a commitment to supporting one another, challenging anti-trans harm, and advocating for a future where trans people can live openly and safely.

This virtual altar recognizes the names of the trans lives we lost this year. It’s a space to sit with their memory, acknowledge their humanity, and reflect on the joy, talent, and possibility each person brought into the world.

If you’re grieving today, you’re not alone. If you’re trans, your life is worthy of safety, joy, and a future where you’re able to live freely without fear. And if you’re an ally, thank you for standing alongside us in ways that truly matter.

Honoring these lives means working toward a world where every trans person is not only seen, but also protected and supported. May this Trans Day of Remembrance move us toward action, compassion, and a world where every trans life is met with care, community, and respect.
