    From city hall, the El Paso City Council has declared November 20 as Transgender Day of Remembrance, highlighting the city's commitment to inclusivity and diversity[2].

    Weather-wise, temperatures across the Borderland have dropped to freezing or near-freezing levels, bringing the first frost of the season. Today, we can expect cooler temperatures, so make sure to bundle up if you're planning on attending any outdoor events[3].
