We especially echo President Susan Frederick-Gray's deep gratitude shared in the message below.
2021 marks the deadliest year for #transgender and #nonbinary people. In the United States more than 45 trans or nonbinary people have been murdered, the majority of whom were Black and Latina trans women. Racism, white supremacy, and patriarchy are responsible for the disparate impact of this violence against trans women of color.
In the midst of this reality, we continue to have organized, well-funded campaigns to attack the humanity of trans people. The violence inherent in policies denying access to trans inclusive health care, to protections against discrimination, and denying trans kids the ability to play sports enables and encourages the interpersonal violence that takes the lives of our trans and nonbinary siblings.
Today, our hearts grieve and we draw our trans and nonbinary siblings close in love and care. We commit ourselves to the work and the practices and culture that will nurture the day when every trans and nonbinary person is respected, welcome, safe and affirmed in every space β beginning with our own homes and communities.
