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.

H.Res. 899 is a non-binding resolution introduced in the House that would support the goals and principles of Transgender Day of Remembrance. The resolution would recognize what it characterizes as an epidemic of violence toward transgender people and memorialize the lives lost during the year. As a non-binding resolution, this measure would not have the force of law and would not require presidential signature. Instead, it would serve as a statement of congressional recognition and support for the observance and its underlying concerns. The resolution is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been referred to committee, and has not yet been voted on by the full House.
