Today, on Transgender Awareness Day, we stand in solidarity with our transgender siblings.

In a time when political forces may seek to silence and erase marginalized voices, we affirm that every person is cherished, every identity celebrated, and every life valued.

We are guided by the belief that our hearts were given to love one another.

With courage and resilience, transgender individuals remind us of the strength found in living authentically, inspiring us to create spaces of respect, justice, and inclusion.

Let us unite in compassion and action, ensuring that every person-regardless of gender identity-experiences the dignity, safety, and love they deserve.
