ALT An illustration of people surrounding a campfire with candles at sunset. The sky is purple and pink and there are silhouettes of buildings in the distant horizon. On the top left of the tile is yellow and white text that reads: 'Monday 20th of November. Trans Day or Remembrance'.
On November 20, we hold a day of gathering, togetherness, and community solidarity. We remember those we've lost, celebrate our strength in the face of adversity, and commit to fighting transphobia to create a better, safer, and more inclusive world for everyone.
As far as we've come, there's still much to do to create a world that's fair, free, and equal for people of all gender identities. Supporting trans friends, family, and community today and always is crucial to building a better future free of transphobia and discrimination.
