On November 20, 2023, more than 100 community members came together at The Center to honor the transgender & gender diverse people we have lost to anti-trans violence this year. Moments of both collective grief and hope were shared throughout the event. It was beautiful and empowering to see and feel the strength of our community 💜 🕊️⁠ ⁠ Perhaps the most powerful moment of the event occurred during the reading of names ceremony - after the name of each person who had passed was read, attendees went back around the room and shared affirmations of hope and strength, solidifying that we will not forget those we have lost.⁠ ⁠ We are immensely grateful to all of the musicians, speakers, poets, volunteers, and attendees for making this event possible - we could not have done this without you.⁠ ⁠ To see more photos from the event, visit the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ #trans #tdor #transdayofremembrance #lgbtq #queer #genderdiverse #community #support
