Pride Month 2024: Transgender Day of Remembrance

Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) is a day to honor the lives of trans, nonbinary and gender-expansive individuals lost to violence, bringing attention to the urgent need to end brutality against our communities.

As we solemnly mark the 25th anniversary of this event, the new Center for Belonging and Inclusion (home of the Women’s Resource Center, the LGBTQIA+ Pride Center, and the Center for Immigrant Services) invites you to join us in reflecting on the importance of gender diversity in our communities and remembering those who faced harm or whose lives have been lost due to systemic and anti-trans violence.

Come and learn about the lives we lost to violence from November 2023 to November 2024. Together, let’s understand why this commemoration remains relevant year after year and why it is urgent to reclaim safety, justice, and visibility for LGBTQIA+. In the current climate, standing in solidarity is more critical than ever. Trans issues are intersectional issues: safeguarding individuals against unlawful deportation, defending freedom of speech, advocating for reproductive rights, fighting discrimination, and pushing for state-level protections are all intertwined with the rights and well-being of trans and nonbinary people.

Join us at BMCC to reflect on our collective grief, build our knowledge and understanding, and explore how self and community care can strengthen trans and nonbinary communities.

For those who prefer to participate and show support silently, we invite everyone to consider wearing black on campus that day as a show of unity and remembrance.
