Today marks Trans Day of Remembrance. This day is an opportunity to remember and mourn our trans siblings who have been lost to hate and violence.

As we honor their legacy and remember the past, we can seize their courage and use it to create a brighter and safer future for all of us.

New study out today!
It answers a question I often hear from young people with opioid addiction & their families:
