Transgender Day of Remembrance

HONORING TRANS LIVES LOST

Friday, November 20 at 7 pm

Affirming denominations, theologians, and individual believers view gender diversity as part of God’s complex creation, comparing it to other spectrums or natural variations in the world. Yet many transgender persons still suffer deeply from the violence that is committed against them just for trying to be who they are.

You are invited to join in solidarity for the worldwide annual Transgender Day of Remembrance vigil on Friday, November 20 at 7 pm in the Good Shepherd sanctuary as we pause, reflect, and honor the lives, names, and legacies of transgender individuals taken by anti-transgender violence and hate. Together, we will hold space in community, lift up resilience, and commit to a future of safety and liberation. Light refreshments will be served.

This important and timely observance is sponsored by our Radiant Pride Ministry team working in cooperation with eleven other civic and faith communities in our area. It is the second of what is projected to become an annual event in our community, the first one having been presented last year at Good Shepherd.
