2025 has been a particularly deadly year for us.
Trans genocide isn’t merely continuing, it’s intensifying. In Alberta, in B.C. and in Saskatchewan, anti-trans bills seeking to harm, if not outright eliminate transness are not only being considered, but are being passed. Here in Québec, our incarcerated sisters are facing unprecedented violence, in good part thanks to a new “genitals” directive imposed by the government. And, to no one’s surprise, trans murders are continuing all across the world, whether these murders are enacted by individuals, groups, or states themselves.
Trans Day of Remembrance is more necessary than ever. Not for the mere sake of commemorating every trans person who’s left us too soon, but also to demand justice for them. No trans person should die because of the crimes against humanity fascists and their buddies are committing against us.
To live is to resist — and to resist, we must demand justice.
Join us on Thursday, 20 November 2025 at 5pm at Dorchester Square, in Montréal, for our annual vigil & march in memoriam of trans people who’ve died too soon. Between 5pm and 7pm, dinner will be served, and we’ll be projecting MAJOR!, in collaboration with ASTTEQ, in memory of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, legendary trans activist who died in October. After this, we’ll have our customary vigil, followed by a march that’ll continue all the way until 11pm (it’ll be longer than usual, since the Montréal metro will be on strike until 11pm).
We hope to see you soon!
