Show full summary
  • Families and loved ones: It would formally memorialize victims killed between October 1, 2024 and September 30, 2025 and cites at least 27 violent deaths in the United States and 241 worldwide in 2025.
  • Transgender people, especially transgender women of color: The text spotlights disproportionate targeting, noting Black transgender women are most affected and reporting homelessness estimates of as many as one-third of transgender women and one-half of transgender women who are Black, Middle Eastern, multiracial, or undocumented.
  • Transgender youth: It highlights extreme mental-health risks, saying over half have contemplated suicide in the last year and more than a quarter have attempted suicide.
  • Transgender immigrants and people in custody: It draws attention to violence and neglect faced by asylum seekers, deaths in detention centers, and lack of appropriate care and facilities in jails and prisons.
  • Government and communities: The resolution would urge study, response, and prevention efforts, condemn anti-trans legislation, and commend the resilience and leadership of the transgender community, including historical leaders like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera.
