LGBT Congressional Staff Associations Hold Observance Of Transgender Day Of Remembrance With 25+ Congressional Staffers

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Congressional Staff Association (CSA) held an observance of Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) on the Capitol Steps today with more than 25 Congressional staff in attendance. The program included a reading of names in remembrance of the transgender lives lost in 2017, followed by a moment of silence led by Bishop Allyson Abrams, founder and current pastor of Empowerment Liberation Cathedral.




Kory Masen, Racial and Economic Justice Policy Advocate with the National Center for Transgender Equality, attended and spoke about the meaning of TDOR, the importance of standing together, and the small actions everyone can do to support the transgender community. The LGBT CSA was also joined by the GLASS Caucus, the LGBTQ Staff Association for the U.S. Senate, and LC-GLOBE, the official Library of Congress organization for all LGBTQ+ employees and allies.
