St. Louis Vigil for Transgender Day of Remembrance
International Transgender Day of Remembrance
St. Louis Candlelight Vigil: Thursday, Nov. 15th @ 7PM
Washington University in St. Louis, South 40 Clocktower
Reception to follow in The Gargoyle in Mallinkrodt Center
Come together to mourn the people murdered in the past year due to anti-transgender violence. Through the vigil, we express love and respect for people in the face of national indifference and hatred. Several St. Louis religious leaders will be present to speak but the event is not inherently religious. Local transgender musician Adhamh Roland will also sing.
Following the meeting at the South 40 clocktower, we will then proceed into into The Gargoyle in Mallinkrodt Center where our guests will speak. Open to all and wheelchair accessible.

To reach the clocktower, turn onto Shepley Drive from Big Bend Blvd. This is the entrance to the South 40 on the western side. A parking garage is hidden behind the dorms on the left; there is also a smaller parking lot on the right. From there, walk east along Shepley Drive until you see the small, green clocktower near Ursa's Cafe.
The South 40 Clocktower is also walking distance from the Big Bend Metro stop.
