The Transgender Day of Remembrance was set aside to memorialize those who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. This year, the theme for Day of Remembrance is "Healing for the community." In addition to remembering the victims of 2006, we work to heal the survivors. This year's extended ceremonies will heal the wounds of transphobia and oppression, those inflicted by others and those we inflict upon ourselves.
