Our theme for TDoR this year is Fuelling the Fire of Solidarity. We have always been here, and our diverse roots and lived experience is our strength. Our daily lives are impacted by our intersecting identities. We continue to feel the plight of our trans siblings across the world. We unite in solidarity, fuelled by our collective desire to create a world where we can all be safe in community. A world where we are loved, respected, and can just BE.

Join us in solidarity — not just on TDoR or other days of importance — but every day. As our coworkers, relatives, friends, neighbours, and community members, you can help keep each one of us safe by being there and advocating for safer spaces for us.
