TDORR Miami's Vision

TThe TDORR Miami organizing committee envisions a world where all transgender & gender expansive folks, especially Black, Brown, and Indigenous, can live and thrive without being bound by the shackles of white supremacy and systemic oppression. We are committed to creating a world where the life expectancy of Black trans women is not 35. We are committed to creating a world where trans men are free from the hands of violence. We are committed to creating a world where non-binary and gender expansive siblings are not invisible, invalidated, and ridiculed. A world where our community is no longer at risk of becoming another hashtag. A liberated world that gives us our right to live our lives, at their most affirming, to completion.

History of TDORR Miami

In 2013, a local cisgender “ally” delivered a speech at Miami’s TDORR written by a trans woman of color, failing to credit her, and owning her story as his own. When this was discovered, he failed to be accountable. Several local trans people vowed to never let that happen again. Since then, the Miami Transgender Day of Remembrance and Resilience (TDORR) grassroots planning committee has brought the community together to respectfully mourn and honor the lives of trans people lost, while also focusing on resiliency, and uplifting the lives of trans people living in our community. We center trans/non-binary performers and speakers, and the event itself is organized by an entirely trans/non-binary committee. Last year, over 200 people were in attendance for this event.

TDORR Committee Politic

 The decision to host this event independently, and not under the umbrella of a non-profit (local or national), is deeply intentional and rooted in long-standing tensions within South Florida's queer and trans communities. Over time, there have been a number of incidents that have caused severe harm to trans/non-binary people that have either been unaddressed or unresolved. This has led to hesitancy with trusting non-profits and has caused fractures in interpersonal relationships. 


The decision to remain grassroots and accept sponsorships only from entities that stand in genuine and ongoing solidarity with us has been the container for retaining the integrity of the event and honoring those we have lost in the best way that we can. We look forward to the day when unresolved tensions can be addressed, healing can occur, and trust can be rebuilt.
