Tomorrow is the Trans Day of Remembrance. This event is held all over the world to help us remember the Trans folks who have died due to violence and our societies instance that the lives of these people do not matter. As we read the names and light candles tomorrow let us not forget that this day serves as a reminder that this is not the only day that we need to have this conversation. Let us not let TDOR become the only time we think about these lives, because these lives matter. Go and find out how you can support Trans folks in your own community. Go to your local TDOR events and show your support. Let us remember these losses everyday and let them galvanize us all to make the changes our communities need.
