On #HolocaustMemorialDay, we remember the 6 million Jews murdered and the millions of people with disabilities, European Roma and LGBTQIA+ people murdered. On #HolocaustMemorialDay, we recommit ourselves to fighting white supremacy, anti-semitism and hatred in all its forms.

Today is Transgender day of Remembrance.
The appalling transgender murder rate is driven by patriarchy and toxic machismo.
The appalling transgender suicide rate is driven by societal rejection and discrimination.
Accepting trans people saves lives.

I joined friends & neighbours at @community_wise for #TDoR: a day each year when we memorialize those who have been murdered b/c of transphobia.
Also: Nov 28 the Gov will be apologizing for persecution of Canada's #LGBTQ community:

On #Trans Day of Remembrance, we are grateful for people like our friend, writer, speaker and activist, Tiq Milan @TheMrMilan, who says:
Creating space for others doesn’t take away space for yourself.
There is enough room for ALL OF US.

Trans rights are human rights.
Unifor calls on all members to stop violence against trans people, and to build caring communities and a more inclusive union. https://t.co/cXt6sWNLNu
