If you don’t currently know your HIV status, today is a good day to make an appointment to get tested.

Trans Day of Remembrance 2025

Today we honor the lives of our trans family who were taken from us through violence, hatred, and neglect. We remember them with love and with purpose. 

According to the most recent global monitoring reports, at least 281 trans and gender diverse people were murdered in the past year. These are just those that we know of. Eighty-eight percent were Black or Brown. Many were activists, sex workers, migrants, and young people. Most were killed in Latin America and the Caribbean. Many were killed in their own homes or on the street. These numbers reflect not only loss but also a global pattern of racism, misogyny, and state violence that continues to target our communities.

In the United States, the Trans Remembrance Project recorded 58 deaths of trans and gender expansive people. This included 27 deaths from violence and 21 deaths from suicide. Youth made up 61 percent of the suicide cases.

Today we hold space for grief and remembrance. We also commit to building a world where our trans communities can live with joy, security, and freedom. 

Every trans person deserves a future.
