Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Today,

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance.

Today, and all days, New Beginnings celebrates transgender people, and also mourns the high rates of violence experienced by transgender individuals.

Specifically today we are horrified, angered and grieving by the shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs. Violence of all kinds, and especially gun violence, threaten our most basic rights to life and safety. Our thoughts are with the LGBTQIA2S+ community in Colorado Springs today.

Transgender Day of Rememberance co-Founder Gwendolyn Ann Smith writes,

"Transgender Day of Remembrance seeks to highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence. I am no stranger to the need to fight for our rights, and the right to simply exist is first and foremost. With so many seeking to erase transgender people -- sometimes in the most brutal ways possible -- it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice."

For resources about how you can get involved with transgender rights and awareness, the Human Rights Campaign maintains a resource page specific to Transgender Awareness Week and Day of Remembrance.

Join us this Tuesday (November 15th at 5:30pm) to chat about what teen dating violence intervention and prevention looks like in King County.

Jenna is a relief advocate on the DV Hopeline, an intern at Harborview's mental health clinic. This is a great chat for teens, parents, and educators! All ages can attend.

It is hard to know exactly what to say when a loss

It is hard to know exactly what to say when a loss like this happens in any community, but when that loss happens in our own community – it is profound. Many of our neighbors are experiencing the ripples of fear, anger, and bewilderment from yesterday’s shooting at Ingraham High School.

How can we make sense of being asked to send our children to school in the morning and hope they are safe to learn and safe enough to make it home to us at the end of the day?

Our children, all children, deserve to learn how to have healthy relationships and manage the normal conflict that comes up in every relationship, without worrying about violence or guns.

New Beginnings is grieving with Ingraham High School, our Teen Leadership Council members, our prevention educators, and the whole community of Seattle.

The effects of this collective trauma are yet to be seen. We invite you to slow down, take care of yourselves, and remember to lean on your support people. We can’t do grief alone.

The City of Seattle's next public hearing on the city budget is tomorrow, Nov. 8th.

Our friends at Coalition Ending Gender-Based Violence are encouraging people to participate in the Seattle City budget process to advocate for funds dedicated to mobile advocacy services for gender based violence. There's a proposed amendment (Amendment HSD-022-A-01) that would secure the funding. That's quite a mouthful to remember, so they have included some suggested language to use if you email your council member, or call in to one of the public hearings.

To sign up for a chance to make a public comment during the hearing on November 8th (or the final hearing on November 15th), visit the following page on the city council website:
