Supporting the goals and principles of Transgender Day of Remembrance by recognizing the epidemic of violence toward transgender people and memorializing the lives lost this year.

This resolution expresses support for the goals and principles of Transgender Day of Remembrance , an observance created to honor transgender individuals lost to violence. It specifically recognizes an alarming epidemic of violence against transgender Americans, memorializing the lives of at least 27 transgender or gender nonconforming people violently killed in the U.S. between October 1, 2024, and September 30, 2025, and over 241 worldwide. The resolution highlights that this violence disproportionately impacts transgender women of color and details numerous challenges faced by the community, including barriers to healthcare, high rates of homelessness, and elevated suicide rates among both youth and adults. It asserts that anti-transgender legislation and executive orders exacerbate violence and mental health crises. The House of Representatives therefore calls for the U.S. Government to make finding solutions a pressing priority, supporting efforts to study, respond to, and prevent violence, while affirming the basic human rights of all individuals and recognizing the bravery, resilience, and cultural contributions of the transgender community.
