Trans Day of Remembrance in Montréal: 20 November 2025
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!

International Women's Day Against Trumpism in Montréal
The clock is ticking. It’s time for us to resist.
The Trump-Musk administration dismantling any semblance of democracy in the United States is a long overdue wake-up call. The uncontested rise of the far-right “broligarchy” and terminal-stage capitalism threatens all of our freedoms, from bodily autonomy to labour rights to freedom of expression. An Orwellian censorship and erasure campaign targeting the very existence of trans people and the people who dare support them. The construction of migrant prison camps — effectively modern-day concentration camps — in Guantánamo. The open conspiracy to attack Gazan, Ukrainian, Panamanian and Canadian sovereignty under the guise of ‘manifest destiny’ (read : modern day imperialism). The dismantling of any semblance of a welfare net and the U.S. federal apparatus under the guise of ‘government efficiency’. All of these have one thing in common: shaping society in the eyes of the white, ultra-wealthy, patriarchal man, the very type of person who would have happily backed Hitler 90 years ago, or slavery 180 years ago.
Trumpism is Nazism, and Nazism is Trumpism. Stopping this devastating ideology at all costs is an imperative. Future generations, heck, our very ability to exist and thrive on Planet Earth is at stake. Fuck the “51st state”. Fuck imperialism. And fuck all the enablers thereof. Freedom and liberation for all!
