This is Transgender Awareness Week, leading up to Transgender Day of Remembrance on Wednesday. On that day, we join people from around the world to honor the lives of trans and gender-diverse people reported murdered in the past 12 months. #TransgenderDayofRemembrance #TDOR2024
Transgender Day of Remembrance. Fatal violence against transgender, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming Americans is continuing in 2024, after 2021 saw at least 57 members of this population die violently. In any given year, the majority of victims are Black and Latinx women, but this epidemic of violence affects the entire community. Office of Equity logo atop a trans flag color scheme.

It’s been a busy week. @PortlandBEM partnered with agencies from across the city and region to prepare for a statewide, multi-day emergency exercise called IronOR 24. Read more at Portland.gov/PBEM/News. This exercise is designed to test Oregon's capabilities and readiness in responding to a catastrophic Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) earthquake. “This exercise is not just about preparing for an earthquake. It’s also about improving our ability to respond to any emergency as an integrated regional team all the way to the State and Federal level,” said PBEM’s Amanda Westervelt, Iron OR ‘24 Exercise Coordinator for the City of Portland. We each play a vital role in ensuring that our community is prepared.
