Supporting the goals and principles of Transgender Day of Remembrance by recognizing the epidemic of violence toward transgender people and memorializing the lives lost this year.

House Resolution 886 is a non-binding commemorative measure that officially recognizes Transgender Day of Remembrance. The resolution expresses the House of Representatives’ support for honoring the memory of transgender individuals lost to violence and acknowledges the disproportionate rates of violence faced by the transgender community, particularly Black and Latina transgender women.

As a resolution rather than a bill, this measure does not create new laws, mandate federal spending, or change existing regulations. Its primary impact is to establish a formal congressional stance on the issue and to encourage public awareness and reflection regarding the safety and civil rights of transgender citizens.
