Transgender Day of Remembrance

Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) is an annual observance on November 20 that honors the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence. Each year, the Office of LGBTQIA Education & Engagement holds the Transgender Remembrance Vigil and Celebration of Life to commemorate the transgender people we have lost and uplift the stories of transgender people still with us.

"Give us our roses while we're still here."
