Transgender Day of Remembrance

Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) is a day to memorialize those who have been killed as a result of anti-transgender violence and bring attention to the continued brutality endured by the trans and gender-expansive members of our community.

TDOR is also a time for us to gather as a community in support and mutual healing. The day invites us to renew our commitment to deeply caring for one another and resolving to work together to end the injustices trans people worldwide are continually facing. Transgender and gender-expansive folks have always and will always exist, and The Center will be there to support them.

Transgender Day of Remembrance 2026

Join us in solidarity for Transgender Day of Remembrance. Together, we honor and uplift the memory of those whose lives were taken by hate, violence, and suicide.

This year’s theme, To Honor and To Hold: Their Lives, Their Legacies pays tribute to the lives and legacies of the Trans community members we have lost to violence this year. The evening will honor remembrance, resilience, and community.

The Transgender Day of Remembrance Altar will be on display throughout the month, beginning Thursday, November 5. We welcome you to visit to take a moment of quiet reflection, leave a message for a loved one, or simply sit in solidarity. The altar is open to all.
