Transcend, the program for Transgender and Gender-Nonconforming people will be hosting a Trans Day of Remembrance Vigil at People’s Church Sunday, November 20 from 5 -7 pm.

Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) was started in 1999 by transgender advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith as a vigil to honor the memory of Rita Hester, a transgender woman who was killed in 1998. The vigil commemorated all the transgender people lost to violence since Rita Hester’s death and began an important tradition that has become the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance.
