This vigil will feature a reading of names, conversation to raise your awareness/knowledge of local/national/international trans issues, and action steps you can take to build a better community for our students, staff, and faculty who identify as trans.

TDOR was started by transgender advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith as a vigil to honor her memory of Rita Hester, a transgender woman who was killed in 1998. The vigil commemorated all the transgender people lost to violence that year and began an important memorial that has become the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance.

Please email csdi@jcu.edu with any questions or accommodation requests. Let us also know if you would like to help us read names on the day of the event.
