Honoring Transgender Day of Remembrance

Today, we remember the lives lost to anti-transgender violence in 2024 and reflect on the systemic changes needed to protect our trans siblings. Tragically, the year has been marked by the loss of so many beloved individuals, including:

San Coleman, Atlanta, GA, age 48
Honee Daniels, Rochester, NY, age 37
Kassim Omar, Columbus, OH, age 29
Redd (Barbie), Chicago, IL, age 25
Pauly Likens, Sharon, PA, age 14
Tayy Dior Thomas, Mobile, AL, age 17
Sasha Williams, Las Vegas, NV, age 36
...and far too many others.

Each of these lives mattered deeply, and we stand in solidarity with the trans community as we mourn, honor, and advocate for change.

At The LOFT LGBTQ+ Community Center, we are committed to supporting our trans and nonbinary community through affirming groups and resources:

Let us continue to uplift, support, and advocate for trans lives, celebrating their beauty and resilience every day. Together, we can build a safer and more inclusive world.
