November 20 is recognized as Transgender Day of Remembrance (#TDOR), which honors the lives of trans community members lost to anti-trans violence. The observance comes after Transgender Awareness Week. Around the country, people will gather to reflect and grieve these losses -- but also to vow to protect trans lives and support trans loved ones. The Network is committed to fighting for trans healthcare in an increasingly dangerous time. Share this post to help us honor trans lives we have lost -- and join us as we work to make safe and healthy spaces for our communities. #LGBTQI #TransLivesMatter #ProtectTransLives #TransRightsAreHumanRights #TransDayOfRemembrance

SHARE: With more than 500 anti-LGBTQI+ bills introduced this year, we know that trans community members across the country are under attack. We've worked with the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network and Genentech to produce a powerful new video that debuts on Wednesday, November 13. Our video features moving interviews with trans community members whose healthcare access has been compromised by these harmful laws. From delayed cancer screenings to restricted treatments, the consequences are real, and they’re affecting lives. Join healthcare professionals, advocates, and allies -- and be part of the change!
