Every year between November 13th - 19th, the week before Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 20th, people and organizations around the world participate in Transgender Awareness Week to help increase visibility about the Trans experience, celebrate triumphs and address hardships members of the community face. Transgender Day of Remembrance is an annual observance that honors the memory of the Trans people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-Transgender violence. Devastatingly, 2021 marks the deadliest year recorded with at least 46 Transgender people killed in the US alone. This week and every week, we need to work together to advance advocacy against the prejudice, discrimination, and violence affecting the Trans community. This is also a time to celebrate Trans joy, resilience, and victories, to pause to honor the history of Trans activism and welcome informed allies. Please consider showing your solitary by supporting this campaign. All funds raised will go to the following three incredible organizations, who are making a difference in the everyday lives of Trans community members locally and across the United States through advocacy and empowerment. Your donation supports: Los Angeles LGBT Center API Equality LA (via Community Partners) Black Trans Advocacy Coalition

Selection of non-profits for Black History Month that provide support and services to Black Trans and Gender Non-Conforming people. Within the Black community, Trans and Gender Non-Conforming individuals face devastating levels of discrimination and violence that stem from transphobia and bigotry compounded by structural racism. Every year, the number of trans individuals murdered is dubbed the "Deadliest year on record for transgender people". In 2021 there were 375 transgender people murdered. This number is realistically much higher due to under reporting of crimes. The trans community of color was also exponentially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States: • 26% of transgender people of color have become unemployed • 67% transgender people of color are no longer able to pay their bills • 58% of transgender people of color have had their work hours reduced • 27% of transgender people of color have had their pay cut • 31% of transgender people of color have had to take unpaid leave • 30% of transgender people of color have been forced to switch to part-time working hours

Each year on March 31, International Transgender Day of Visibility celebrates the joy and resilience of trans and non-binary people everywhere by elevating their voices, visibility and experiences. We must however acknowledge that current discourse in the public sphere and increase in discriminatory legislation is taking a deep toll on the wellbeing of the transgender community. More and more trans people are increasingly worried about their own safety as we must always remember that anti-trans legislation and sentiment are directly tied to anti-trans violence. This Trans Day of Visibility, Pride@ invites you to support organisations from 4 Pinterest regions, which support transgender rights.

Transgender Awareness Week is celebrated from November 13th through November 19th each year, and aims to increase public knowledge surrounding the common issues faced by the transgender community including discrimination and prejudice in various forms, socioeconomic and healthcare inequities, and acts of violence, among others. Additionally, Transgender Awareness Week highlights the importance of trans visibility in all spaces, showcases stories and experiences from within the transgender community, and encourages allies to stand in solidarity by showing their support and commitment to working towards justice and equality. Transgender Awareness Week precedes Transgender Day of Remembrance, observed annually on November 20th. Transgender Day of Remembrance memorializes the lives lost to targeted, anti-transgender violence and advocates for the fight for justice. In addition to supporting nonprofit organizations with a donation, you can participate by organizing or attending a vigil to honor those who have lost their lives to targeted acts of violence. Your donation to this Fund will help support the selected organizations' shared mission of providing support in all forms to the transgender community, increasing trans visibility, and advocating for justice and inclusion through direct client services, policy development, and educational programming.
