Today we mark #TransDayOfRemembrance and mourn those who were taken from us. We are sending our thoughts to the trans community today who are grieving and angry. Let's remember them through solidarity, action and above all, love. Rest in power.
Happy #TransAwarenessWeek everyone!
Allies, here's a thread of things you can do today to support the trans community:
1. Educate yourself
