Relating to: proclaiming November 20 in 2025 and 2026 as Wisconsin’s Transgender Day of Remembrance.
SJR 115 is a ceremonial resolution that directs Wisconsin to formally recognize November 20, 2025, and 2026, as "Wisconsin’s Transgender Day of Remembrance." It does not create new laws or policies but affirms the state's acknowledgment of this day, which memorializes transgender and nonbinary people killed due to transphobic violence. The resolution cites rising annual fatalities against transgender individuals (33 in 2023, 30 in 2024) and aligns with the established national observance founded in 1999. As a procedural resolution, it has no direct regulatory impact on individuals or organizations.
