Trans Day of Remembrance Candlelit Vigil
This November 20th, we invite you to gather in a heartfelt tribute to honor the lives lost to anti-trans violence. Our candlelit vigil will serve as a safe space for reflection, remembrance, and resilience. Together, we will read aloud the names of those we’ve lost so they may rest in power while we stand in solidarity and recognition, vowing to work towards a future where anti-trans violence ends.
In a spirit of community, we encourage attendees to share a few words of love, remembrance, or support for the Trans lives that inspire us. As a poignant symbol of our collective commitment to honor their memory, we will release a biodegradable wreath into the water, a symbol of both our grief and our enduring hope for a future where all can live authentically and free.
This event is a safe space for both gender diverse individuals and also allies. Let us come together in a spirit of compassion and unity as we remember not just the pain of loss, but the power of love and community. Together, we will shine a light of hope in the darkness.
