TCNE and First Event Conference are saddened and mourning for the senseless killings of at least five people at Club Q in Colorado Springs. We condemn the hatred and violence against LGBTIQA+ people that continue to occur across the country and the world.

As today is the 2022 Transgender Day of Remembrance, we stand with everyone in the transgender community and our LGBTQ+ siblings in asking for peaceful solidarity and safety for all.
