Transgender Day of Remembrance occurs annually on November 20 to memorialize those who have been killed due to transphobia in hopes to bring awareness and an end to transphobic violence.
This event is not just for the trans community, but for anyone who supports this goal. It is traditional to read the names of everyone who has been killed over the past year and to hold a moment of silence.
