Please join Berkshire Stonewall Community Collation at WANDER Berkshire for
Trans Day of Remembrance
Service and Candlelight Vigil

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. TDoR memorials may include reading the names of lives lost within the past year, along with other acts such as marches, candlelight vigils, special relegious services, and mutual-aid drives.

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