Transgender Day of Remembrance in Ramsey County
The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners declares November 20, 2024, as Transgender Day of Remembrance in Ramsey County. Transgender Day of Remembrance honors the memory of transgender and gender expansive individuals whose lives were lost tragically and inhumanely in acts of violence, with at least 27 transgender and gender-expansive people killed in the United States in 2024 alone.
Ramsey County stands committed to fostering a community of inclusivity and safety, ensuring that all residents, including and especially those at the intersection of diverse racial, ethnic, gender identities and expressions, have access to equal rights, resources and opportunities to thrive without fear.
The board encourages all residents to reflect on the impact of anti-transgender violence and join in efforts to promote safety, equity and respect for all.
