Look at your favorite organization's policies and ensure that transgender people are welcome to join your country club, your work union or your book group. 2. Volunteer to help get a transgender-supportive candidate elected. 3. Ask your local film festival to include films inclusive of transgender issues. 4. Work to pass a non-discrimination policy in your workplace. Slightly less than one-third of Americans live in a jurisdiction with laws that ban employment discrimination based on gender identity and expression. 5. Submit an op-ed to your local paper about the transgender community. This is an effective way to express opinions and distribute information on transgender issues from a variety of voices. 6. Plan or attend a Day of Remembrance Event every November 20. This is a yearly opportunity to remember those lost to hate-motivated violence directed towards the transgender community, and also a time to encourage people to take action to make the world safer.
