Transgender Day of RemembranceNCTE Honors the Transgender Day of Remembrance

The shooting deaths of Duanna Johnson and Tiesh Green in recent days remind us poignantly of the devastating impact of violence on the lives of transgender people.  Johnson had previously been the victim of a beating by police officers, an incident captured on videotape, which led to the firing of the officers earlier this year. Both murders are still under investigation. We extend our condolences to the families and loved ones of both women as they grieve their loss.

“This is an absolutely critical national effort. We urge all transgender and gender non-conforming people to take the survey to help guide us in making better laws and policies that will improve the quality of life for all transgender people. We need everyone’s voice in this, everyone’s participation.”
