A resolution 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.
Summary
S.Res. 511 is a non-binding Senate resolution introduced by Senator Mazie K. Hirono of Hawaii. The resolution proposes to support the goals and principles of Transgender Day of Remembrance, an annual observance held on November 20th. It aims to recognize what the resolution characterizes as an epidemic of violence toward transgender people and to memorialize the lives of transgender individuals lost during the year.
As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as a statement of the Senate's position on the issue. If passed, the resolution would express congressional recognition of violence affecting the transgender community and honor those who have died. However, it would not create new legal protections, funding, or policy changes. The bill was introduced on November 20, 2025, and remains in the early stage of the legislative process, having not yet received committee action.
