Please join BSCC at Wander on November 17th from 4-5 pm for a Transgender day of remembrance service and candlelight vigil after our friends-giving event.

Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) was started by Gwendolyn Ann Smith in 1999 as vigil to honor the memory of Rita Hester, Chanelle Picket, and Monique Thomas. All three Black, transgender women were murdered in eastern Massachusetts within 3 years of each other. The day has since grown to be recognized internationally.

TDoR highlights the losses in our community due to transphobic bigotry and violence. It is observed annually on November 20th.

Please honor and stand with the transgender community on this day and every day. This event is free and open to the whole community
