Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. We honor those whose lives were lost to anti-transgender violence this year. 350 people were killed in 2024, up from 321 in 2023. Transgender Day of Remembrance was founded in 1999 by transgender advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith in memory of Rita Hester, a transgender woman who was killed in 1998. “Transgender Day of Remembrance seeks to highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence. I am no stranger to the need to fight for our rights, and the right to simply exist is first and foremost. With so many seeking to erase transgender people — sometimes in the most brutal ways possible — it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice.” –Gwendolyn Ann Smith Source: GLAAD.org, TGEU.org

Tomorrow is election day, and tensions are high. A few helpful tips as you go through your workday and week: 💡 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭. This can look like doing breathing exercises, taking a walk, hydrating, connecting with someone you trust, and rescheduling meetings. 💡𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐲. Everyone is grappling with election stress in different ways, and it can show up differently for each person. 💡 𝐁𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞. Acknowledge that things may become challenging, or feel more difficult at work. 💡  𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞. Disagreement is normal, even when people may have similar values and beliefs. Give grace to yourself and your colleagues during these upcoming days.
