NASHVILLE, Tennessee ( WTVF )- Metro Council is urging everyone in the neighborhood to remember a recent day of remembrance for trans people who have perished in acts of violence or hatred on one day this month.
Olivia Hill, the first transgender elected official in Nashville, proposed the quality after just being elected to the government. Nobody objected to the movement or abstained from voting.
According to Hill, today is a moment to remember and honor those who have perished as the result of crime, hatred, or extremism. Standing with the murdered members of the transgender area is part of a larger activity taking place across the nation.
She added that it’s an uphill challenge that she knows all too well and that 25 people have been murdered for their life so far this year.
” I’m not far from the hatred I’ve experienced.” I was named Davidson County Democratic Women’s person of the year two weeks ago. I’ve received 380, 000 cruel remarks on my Twitter account. To demonstrate to the whole trans society that while we may not always believe on anything, any loss of life in that manner is regrettable, I implore you both to join me. Hill said,” I want everyone to remain with me.
Everyone in the room stood up and cheered after she finished her message. Metro Nashville did observe Monday, November 20, as Transgender Day of Remembrance.
