Transgender Awareness Week

Hey Mac! Transgender Awareness Week occurs each year between November 13-19 with the goal of helping increase understanding about transgender people and the issues members of the community face. Throughout the week, transgender people and their allies take action to educate the public about who transgender people are, while sharing experiences and increasing advocacy around issues of discrimination and violence that affect the community. Transgender Awareness week falls right before Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 20 which is an annual observance that honors transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of transphobic violence that year.
