Family seeks justice for Islan Nettles on Transgender Day of Remembrance

November 20 marks Transgender Day of Remembrance, an annual day of commemoration for those who've experienced transgender discrimination and abuse. Supporters around the world have been using the hashtag #TDOR online to honor men and women who've lost their lives as a result of anti-transgender violence.

Many are calling attention to the case of Islan Nettles (pictured below), the 21-year-old woman from Harlem who was attacked in the streets for being transgender. She died from her injuries three days after the August attack.
