The Green Party of Suffolk County adds our support to Transgender Day Of Remembrance (TDOR). This event is in keeping with our Pillars, Key Values, and our Party’s commitments to Peace/Nonviolence, Gender Self-Determination, and Social and Economic Justice and Equity.
TDOR is a worldwide event observed on November 20th every year. Its goal is to raise awareness about discrimination, violence and murder directed against transgender, intersex , non-binary, gender-nonconforming people, and anyone who identifies outside of normative gender stereotypes. The day entails a memorial service to commemorate the lives of people killed each year, and to join in solidarity with transgender, intersex, non-binary and gender-nonconforming people and their friends, allies and supporters. We strive to make the world a more safe and accepting place for people of all gender identities.
The Green Party of Suffolk opposes hate and violence in all its forms, and believe in a free and safe gender expression for all. We stand with all transgender and gender non-conforming individuals, and will continue to support them.
