## Summary

**Recognizing and confronting violence against transgender people.** This resolution would reaffirm Transgender Day of Remembrance, memorialize victims from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025, and push federal attention toward studying and preventing anti‑trans violence. - Transgender people and families: Lists victims by name, including Quanesha Shantel Cocoa, and cites at least 27 U.S. deaths in 2025 and at least 241 deaths worldwide. - Transgender women of color: Calls out disproportionate harm and names Black transgender women as the most targeted group in the United States. - Transgender youth and mental health: Highlights severe mental health indicators, noting almost half of transgender people will attempt suicide at least once and that more than half of transgender youth have contemplated suicide in the past year. - People facing housing and health barriers: Notes limited access to care, higher unemployment, and housing instability, with up to one-third of transgender women and up to one-half of Black, Middle Eastern, multiracial, or undocumented transgender women experiencing homelessness. - Policymakers: Condemns anti‑trans legislation and restrictions on gender‑affirming care as factors that fuel violence and urges Congress and the executive branch to study, respond to, and prevent these harms.
