Tonight, the city will light up orange to raise awareness about ending gender-based violence (GBV).

#ICYMI, This past Wednesday New York City's municipal buildings lit up to recognize Transgender Day of Remembrance, a day dedicated to honoring the lives lost to anti-trans violence. Annually, this important day serves as a powerful reminder of the need to recognize the humanity of trans individuals, not just today, but every day of the year. This is a moment to stand in solidarity, mourn, and commit to fostering a world of love, acceptance, and justice for all transgender and gender-diverse individuals. The NYC Unity Project, part of the Mayor's Office of Equity & Racial Justice, is committed to supporting the transgender community through an ongoing NYC Unity Grants grant initiative. This funding helps organizations provide vital services to this often underserved group, fostering inclusion and equity.
