On we remember all whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence. Please join us for a vigil in remembrance of our trans brother, sisters, and siblings tonight at 6pm at the OUTMemphis Community Center.

“Transgender Day of Remembrance seeks to highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence.
