Today is Trans Day of Remembrance
Today, November 20th, is Trans Day of Remembrance. To honor this day, the Title IX office is bringing in a local speaker and activist to talk about their experiences here in Rochester:
- Join our speaker: Karen Anne Bills
- Prism Multi-Cultural Center
- 12:00 to 1:00pm
Trans Day of Remembrance honors the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.
“Transgender Day of Remembrance seeks to highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence. I am no stranger to the need to fight for our rights, and the right to simply exist is first and foremost. With so many seeking to erase transgender people — sometimes in the most brutal ways possible — it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice.” – Transgender Day of Remembrance founder Gwendolyn Ann Smith
