U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Assistant Secretary for Health ADM Rachel Levine, issued the following statement today in commemoration of Transgender Day of Remembrance to honor and remember those who have lost their lives to anti-transgender violence.
“On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we mourn the people who lost their lives to transphobia and anti-transgender violence this year and remember what those people meant to their loved ones and their communities. In a nation that prides itself on freedom, every individual deserves the right to live authentically and without fear. The Biden-Harris administration stands firmly with all transgender people and envisions a future grounded in equity and acceptance. Let us come together in love and solidarity to honor those we have lost by building a world where everyone can live safely, happily and free of prejudice.” – HHS Assistant Secretary for Health ADM Rachel Levine
