<p>Each year between Nov. 13 - 19, people and organizations around the country participate in Transgender Awareness Week to help raise the visibility about transgender people and address issues members of the community face. The Transgender Day of Remembrance is observed annually on Nov. 20 to memorialize those who were murdered due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. </p>
<p>To celebrate and help raise the visibility of transgender people, an exhibit was created by the Phoenix LGBTQ Employee Alliance to help educate the public about transgender people, ways to support trans youth and some of the issues the transgender community face. Also included is a memorial that honors the memory of the transgender and gender non-conforming individuals whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence this year; 2021 being the deadliest year recorded. </p>
<p>The exhibit can be viewed in the Phoenix City Hall Atrium located at 200 W. Washington St., 1st floor. The exhibit will be available for viewing from Nov. 15 - 30.</p>
