Transgender Day of Remembrance
Thursday, November 20th, 7:00 p.m.
The OkEq Gender Outreach will host Transgender Day of Remembrance Service on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. at the Dennis R. Neill Equality Center Event Center.
Transgender Day of Remembrance serves several purposes. It raises public awareness of hate crimes against transgender people and it allows our community to publicly mourn and honor the lives of our Transgender brothers and sisters who’ve died by anti-transgender violence. Through the vigil, we express love and respect for our Transgender community in the face of national indifference and hatred.
Those participating include Rev. Tamara Lebak from All Souls Unitarian Church, Dr. Laura Arrowsmith, Jared Tyler, Sisters in Song, and the Council Oak Men’s Chorale. The Gender Advocacy Outreach Team will perform dramatic recitations and show a power point presentation remembering the 17 Transgender persons who were murdered last year.
Please note, in order to allow our OkEq members of the Board of Directors to attend this event, the regularly scheduled board meeting will be held after the conclusion of the Transgender Day of Remembrance service - at around 8:15 pm
