Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the transgender friends, siblings, lovers, and beyond whose lives have been taken due to violence and discrimination. Starting in 1999 by Gwendolyn Ann Smith, TDOR is a solemn reminder of the work that remains to create a world where everyone can live authentically and safely. "With so many seeking to erase transgender people — sometimes in the most brutal ways possible — it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice." – Gwendolyn Ann Smith Today, we remember. We reflect. And we continue the fight for justice, safety, and the right for everyone to simply exist.

Happy #NationalApprenticeshipWeek! Build With Pride Seattle, ANEW and GSBA are proud to support pre-apprenticeship programs that create a more diverse #AEC industry. In honor of #ConstructionInclusionWeek 2024 and with help from our AEC partners, we were able to raise funds to establish the first annual #BuiltWithPride #Scholarship. This scholarship will help reduce the financial burden on participants in ANEW's pre-apprenticeship programs, which help people not typically represented in the #construction industry gain the skills they need to become apprentices in the trades. By supporting these programs and students, our goal is to help build a more diverse and stronger industry that represents all of the communities we serve. Stay tuned and follow GSBA, ANEW and Build With Pride Seattle to stay in the loop! #Seattle #PreApprentice #Apprentice #Build #BuiltWithPride
