Today #TDoR2021 we remember those precious lives that we lost because of anti-trans violence. 43% of those killed in Europe were migrants. We pray for love, light, peace and healing. We'll light a candle tonight.

Liberal Judaism stands with survivors of ‘conversion therapy’, and in particular those who have been harmed in a faith-based environment. We appeal to the Government to ban ‘conversion therapy’ in the UK now. #StopDithering #BanConversionTherapy #LGBTQIA #HumanRights
