"Members of Congress established a task force Friday to shine a spotlight on anti-transgender violence and the victims it claims, Time reported. The House LGBT Equality Caucus, in a show of solidarity ahead of national Transgender Day of Remembrance Nov. 20, said it will hold the first congressional forum on violence against trans people Tuesday afternoon. It also will use the task force to develop legislation breaking down barriers the trans community faces."
