Senate Resolution 511 is a symbolic resolution supporting Transgender Day of Remembrance and acknowledging violence against transgender people in the United States. The resolution memorializes 27 transgender and gender nonconforming individuals killed in the U.S. between October 2024 and September 2025, along with at least 241 deaths worldwide, and notes the particular vulnerability of transgender women of color to violence. The resolution recognizes systemic challenges facing the transgender community, including barriers to healthcare, high rates of homelessness and suicide attempts, discrimination in schools and prisons, and impacts from recent anti-transgender legislation and restrictions on gender-affirming care. As a resolution rather than legislation, it does not create law or direct funding but expresses the Senate's support for studying and preventing violence against transgender people while affirming their basic human rights and contributions to society. The resolution was introduced by 17 senators on November 20, 2025, the date of Transgender Day of Remembrance.
