Bill Summary
Supporting the goals and principles of Transgender Day of Remembrance by recognizing the epidemic of violence toward transgender people and memorializing the lives lost this year.
AI Summary
This resolution commemorates Transgender Day of Remembrance by highlighting the significant challenges and violence faced by transgender individuals in the United States. The resolution notes the origins of the memorial day, which began in 1999 following the unsolved murder of Rita Hester, and recognizes that in 2025, at least 27 transgender or gender non-conforming people were violently killed in the United States, with a global total of 241 such deaths. It details the disproportionate challenges faced by this community, including high rates of violence (particularly against transgender women of color), healthcare barriers, homelessness, suicide attempts, discrimination in institutional settings, and the negative impacts of anti-transgender legislation. The resolution supports the goals of Transgender Day of Remembrance by recognizing the epidemic of violence, affirming the basic human rights of transgender individuals, acknowledging the community's resilience and contributions to American society, and calling for government efforts to study, respond to, and prevent violence against transgender people. Ultimately, the resolution seeks to memorialize lives lost and draw attention to the urgent need for protection, dignity, and respect for transgender Americans.
