“With so many seeking to erase transgender people - sometimes in the most brutal ways possible - it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice”
-Gwendolyn Ann Smith, Founder of Trans Day of Remembrance
On Thursday, November 20th, our community will come together in honor & remembrance of those we’ve lost to transphobic violence over the past year.
Hosted by Grand Rapids Pride Center, Grand Rapids Trans Foundation, and GVSU’s Milton E. Ford LGBT Resource Center, this event (Located at the L. William Seidman Center, Room 1008 at 50 Front Ave SW, Grand Rapids, MI) will feature a vigil, a reading of the names of our lost extended family as well as a short program featuring guest speakers and musicians from the community.
Emotional and mental health resources and space will be available, and light refreshments will be provided.
Please be mindful of our guests who have scent sensitivities by refraining from wearing scents.
Accessible parking is available in the Fulton Lot at Fulton and Mt. Vernon, which is underneath US-131 and directly under the Laker Line bus stop.
There will be ASL interpretation for this event.
