Biden marks Trans Day of Remembrance"We must never be silent in the face of hate"
"President Biden honored transgender Americans on Trans Day of Remembrance, which falls on Nov. 20 each year and serves to pay tribute to trans people who have lost their lives to violence.
"Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance we are reminded that there is more to do [to] meet that promise, as we grieve the 26 transgender Americans whose lives were taken this year," Mr. Biden said in a statement Monday.
"While each one of these deaths is a tragedy – the true toll of those victimized is likely even higher, with the majority of those targeted being women of color," Mr. Biden said.
A report released Monday by the Human Rights Campaign serves to shine a light on what the LGBTQ+ organization called an "epidemic of violence" against the trans and gender non-conforming community in the U.S. — one that especially impacts transgender women and transgender people of color, who the report said "are at elevated risk of fatal violence.""
