As we remember the trans lives taken too soon, We’re reminded that remembrance alone isn’t enough. We honor them through action — by advocating for safety, by educating, by standing against discrimination, and by celebrating trans joy wherever we can. Their memories fuel a vision of a world where every trans person is free to live openly, safely, and proudly. Today we mourn, but we also recommit to building that future. 🕯️✨
