Today, on Transgender Day Of Remembrance, we remember and honor the trans lives lost to violence, hatred and injustice.

Their stories matter. Their lives mattered.

Everyone deserves to live in safety, dignity and equality — without exception. We won't stop fighting until that’s true for all. 🏳️‍⚧️

We’re gearing up for Giving Tuesday because the sad truth is women’s organizations continue to receive less than 1% of funding from the global philanthropic community. It's time to close this funding gap and make bold investments in our future. www.OmahaWomensFund.org/Donate
