National Transgender Day of Remembrance

Wednesday November 18th, 6pm – 7:30pm “A Welcoming Reception for Pauline Park” at The CENTER 1300 Locust (front door on 13 St).

Friday November 20th is the 11th National Transgender Day of Remembrance, this year groups in Iowa joined together to plan a candlelight vigil. The vigil will be at the Iowa State Capitol, 5:15pm on the west side the names of those slain will be called out, Pauline Park and community members will speak about the importance of connecting people to reduce bias and hate-crimes. If you lost someone place their name on a sign so we may share in the celebration of their life with you.

The Transgender Day of Remembrance serves several purposes. It raises public awareness of hate crimes against transgender people, an action that current media doesn’t perform. Day of Remembrance publicly mourns and honors the lives of our brothers and sisters who might otherwise be forgotten. Through the vigil, we express love and respect for our people in the face of national indifference and hatred. Day of Remembrance reminds non-transgender people that we are their sons, daughters, parents, family, friends and lovers. Day of Remembrance gives our allies a chance to step forward with us and stand in vigil, memorializing those of us who’ve died.
