     5th St. N., where a memorial will be held from 6:30 - 7:30 PM.

     Candles will be provided, but please bring your own if possible.

    Transgender activist Gwendolyn Ann Smith started Transgender Day of Remembrance to honor the memory of Rita Hester, a transgender woman who was killed in 1998. The vigil celebrated the lives of all transgender people who lost their lives to violence that year. The Transgender Day of Remembrance has become an annual nationwide memorial for the transgender community.

    “This is a day to remember, memorialize and honor those within the transgender community who have lost their lives due to hate and bigotry,” said Tristan Byrnes, a local gender therapist and one of the vigil’s organizers. “It’s a day to bring together the transgender community and its allies to bring awareness to this important cause and to end the needless loss of life.”

    Andrew Citino, owner of 6S Boutique and an organizer of the vigil, added, “This is a time to honor the lives led by amazing human beings and to bring awareness to the unfortunate hate that surrounds us, as well as the love and support that there is for trans people.”
