## Summary

**Highlights an ongoing epidemic of violence against transgender people and memorializes those lost.** The resolution would back Transgender Day of Remembrance, list victims from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025, call for studying and preventing violence, and condemn efforts that restrict access to gender-affirming care. - 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.
