Today, November 20th, is Trans Day of Remembrance, a day meant to honor the memory of trans people who were lost to transphobic violence. We remember and mourn for those we’ve lost, and will continue to work towards a world without transphobic violence.
Dark blue textured background. At the bottom, there are illustrated candles that are the colors of the trans flag (blue, pink, and white). Text reads: Today is Trans Day of Remembrance. Trans Day of Remembrance is a day to honor the memory of trans people who were lost to transphobic violence. Dark blue textured background. At the bottom, there are illustrated candles that are the colors of the trans flag (blue, pink, and white). Text reads: Trans Day of Remembrance started in 1999 with a vigil to commemorate Rita Hester, a Black trans woman who was murdered the year before. Today we remember those we’ve lost to anti-trans violence, particularly trans women of color. Dark blue textured background. Text reads: At ASAN, we recognize that autistic people are more likely to be LGBTQ+ than non autistic people. We stand in solidarity with our trans siblings and recognize how our communities overlap. Transgender autistic people are often denied the autonomy, recognition and respect they need to live according to their gender identity. Misperceptions about what it means to be transgender, or about autistic people’s ability to understand their gender or make decisions about their bodies, often prompt service providers or family members to stand in the way of transgender autistic people’s attempts to live life with authenticity and dignity. Dark blue textured background. At the bottom, there are illustrated candles that are the colors of the trans flag (blue, pink, and white). Text reads: While we mourn, it is also vital that we take action to protect our trans community from discrimination in every area of society. ASAN will continue to fight back against attacks on trans rights and work towards a world in which transgender autistic people are respected and included everywhere.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we think of those we've lost, whether they were bright young people who were just starting their lives or our cherished elders. Please be kind to yourself. <3

We honor the legacy of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fierce protector of our collective freedom. Our hearts are with her loved ones and all who carry her vision forward.

"We will honor Miss Major forever." - @imarajones.bsky.social
An illustration of Miss Major surrounded by candles with blue background and a famous quote of hers written in gold. The quote reads“I don’t need their permission to exist; I exist in spite of them. I want you to train and teach and love on and create families within my community and gender non-conforming people, so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a history, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved, and seek happiness, and share that with the people that we care about.” -Miss Major Griffin-Gracy

On this Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor those native to Turtle Island and also center Two-Spirit people. Today, the term means different things to different people, but is an umbrella term for gender diverse people. Visit our resource library to learn more and find resources for Two-Spirit people.

The fight for trans rights is ALL our fight. 🏳️‍⚧️

We continue to battle in courts against attacks on trans people and we’re calling you to fight alongside us. We're not backing down. And you shouldn’t either.

Share with 3 friends who support trans rights. ✊

Read our statement: tinyurl.com/s87hbsd4
Purple graphic with text that reads, "I fight for trans rights." Purple graphic with quote from statement by Lambda Legal's Interim Chief Legal Officer. Text reads, "Let’s be clear: We are not backing down. Trans rights are human rights. Our government is failing in its duty to shield the most vulnerable among us. But we are here to help protect you." Purple graphic with text from statement that reads, "Our lawyers are fighting back. We have so far sued the Trump Administration 6 times over its anti-LGBTQ executive actions. And we have won court orders in 5 cases so far protecting these communities as our lawsuits proceed." Purple graphic with text from statement that reads, "Our values are unwavering: every human being deserves safety, respect, and the freedom to live with pride and dignity as who they are. We will keep fighting until those values are the lived reality for every trans person."

three friends are looking at a phone screen and smiling/laughing together. The photo is slightly transparent so that you can see the Bisexual flag colors underneath it (pink, purple, and blue). There is a pink text box in the bottom left corner that says "Bi+ Visibility Day" and the GLAD Law logo is in the top right corner.

BREAKING: We just filed a second lawsuit against Texas school districts that have posted or plan to display the Ten Commandments — despite a federal court’s ruling that S.B. 10 is a clear violation of the separation of church and state.

Public schools are for educating, not evangelizing.

HHS put out a plan called the Make America Healthy Again Strategy last week. It says what some people in the government think needs to happen for kids in America to get healthier. Our explainer talks about what is in the strategy and the problems with it. autisticadvocacy.org/2025/09/expl...
Textured grey background. Blue text reads: Explaining the Make America Healthy Again Strategy. Formal language and plain language statement on website. Textured grey background with blue box. Text inside reads: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) put out a plan called the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Strategy last week. The MAHA Strategy says what some people in the U.S. government think needs to happen for children in America to get healthier. The way the MAHA strategy talks about sick kids shows that HHS doesn’t understand the problems sick kids have. The MAHA Strategy will: Spread wrong health information Make rules that make it harder to get vaccines Make it harder to get medications for people with ADHD and mental health disabilities Give money to badly-made studies that spread wrong health information ASAN thinks the leader of HHS, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.), should not get to lead HHS. He is bad at his job, and his ideas hurt people. ASAN will keep saying that RFK Jr. should not be the Secretary of HHS. We will also keep talking to people in the government who make decisions.

SHAMEFUL: The new immigrant detention center at Fort Bliss already has 60 violations — according to ICE’s own inspectors.

🔴It failed to treat medical conditions.
🔴It lacked procedures to keep detainees safe.
🔴It didn’t provide access to lawyers.

No one should experience this cruelty.
ICE report finds 60 violations in 50 days at Fort Bliss migrant facility in El Paso, Texas
A report by ICE inspectors outlined numerous violations in the Fort Bliss detention center ad plans continue for its expansion.
