U.S. Rep. Mark Takano and others sent a pointed letter to VA Secretary Doug Collins.
"This resolution honors the lives of the trans people we have lost to senseless violence and stands as a symbol of their resilience," says U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal.
“Too many transgender people have been killed just for living as their true, authentic selves,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal said.
"When we create environments for transgender people to thrive, we create a society where people can live the lives they deserve to live."
The resolution recognizes the accomplishments of trans people and commits to affirming their rights.
U.S. House committees approved an anti-trans sports bill and one allowing faith-based discrimination by college groups.
