This Trans Day of Remembrance (November 20), we honour the memory and lives taken due to anti-trans violence. Dangerous anti-2SLGBTQI hate and rhetoric continue to take hold in modern-day society. And if left unchecked, it will continue to put many trans, nonbinary, Two Spirit, and gender diverse people's lives at risk for simply existing. We urge everyone to learn and take action in allyship to fight against discrimination, violence, and adversity that continues to impact the 2SLGBTQI community. Take action today at egale.ca/transweek
