National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC)

Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), we stand in solidarity with the transgender community to honor and remember the lives lost to violence, hate, and discrimination. At NGLCC, we are committed to creating an inclusive world where transgender and nonbinary people can live authentically and thrive in safety, dignity, and opportunity. Through our TGX Initiative and partnerships with organizations and businesses that champion equality, we are working to break down barriers and celebrate the incredible contributions of transgender and nonbinary entrepreneurs, professionals, and leaders in the LGBTQ+ community. Together, we can ensure that remembrance is paired with progress. #TDOR #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance
