Trans Day of Remembrance - this Sunday in San Jose
(cross posted) Late notice... hope local peeps will consider attending - I'll be one of the speakers. If you're not in the south bay, there might be another vigil near you. :-)
13th Annual International Transgender Day of Remembrance
Sunday, November 20 · 6:00pm - 9:00p
Billy DeFrank LGBT Community Center
938 The Alameda
San Jose, California
Created By Nori Herras-Castaneda
The Transgender Day of Remembrance serves several purposes. It raises public awareness of hate crimes against transgender people, an action that current media doesn’t perform. Day of Remembrance publicly mourns and honors the lives of our brothers and sisters who might otherwise be forgotten. Through the vigil, we express love and respect for our people in the face of national indifference and hatred. Day of Remembrance reminds non-transgender people that we are their sons, daughters, parents, friends and lovers. Day of Remembrance gives our allies a chance to step forward with us and stand in vigil, memorializing those of us who’ve died by anti-transgender violence.
