"Each #TransDayOfRemembrance, our nation comes together to honor the countless transgender Americans who have suffered unthinkable violence or have been brutally murdered simply for who they are. We hold their memories in our hearts and pray for the families in anguish.
This year in particular, our transgender neighbors and loved ones have endured a heartbreaking and accelerating campaign of violence and persecution. Proudly, Democrats have long stood shoulder to shoulder with LGBTQ activists to advance the cause of full equality for all.
Let us renew our vow to honor the beautiful souls we have lost, ensure our transgender community feels seen, heard and represented -- and never relent until every person is free to live freely as their authentic selves."
