"Too many transgender people have been killed just for living as their true, authentic selves," Jayapal said in a press release. She called the resolution a tribute to the strength and resilience of the trans community and a commitment to never backing down in the fight for equality. "Trans lives matter, and our commitment to creating a just and equal society where everyone can thrive will never stop."
"No one should have to live their lives in fear simply for existing as they are," Hirono said. "I'm proud to sponsor this resolution to raise awareness of the discrimination and dangers that transgender communities face and to honor the memories of those whose lives were lost to violence."
