Each year, ETFO recognizes the International Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR). It is a day to remember transgender people, gender non-conforming individuals and those perceived to be transgender who have been murdered because of hate. 

This year’s theme is Mourning Yesterday to safeguard tomorrow which addresses the significance of how we can use the hurt of the past to prevent the future repeating itself. Here is a link to a resource on how educators can interrupt anti-2SLGBTQ (micro)aggressions.
