Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), observed annually, is a powerful reminder of the violence faced by the transgender, gender-diverse, and intersex community. It also emphasizes the importance of visibility, solidarity, and collective action supporting the TGI community. This convening will be a place for healing, resilience, and remembrance, where allies, advocates, and community members unite in shared purpose.

The event’s highlights will include a reading of the names of the community members lost this year to honor the lives lost to violence. Beyond remembrance, this convening will also serve as a call to action, underscoring the city’s commitment to ensuring a safer, more inclusive Los Angeles for TGI individuals.
