The CUNY LGBTQIA+ Consortium has awarded the Brooklyn College’s LGBTQ+ Resource Center $40,000 for the 2022-23 academic year for events and other support programing initiatives. The funding has already helped support several events this year and will fund many others, including Trans Day of Remembrance Vigil for Trans Awareness Week to be held on Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2022, from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. at the Lily Pond at the East Campus Quad. This vigil brings awareness to the hate and violence perpetrated against trans individuals, both historically and currently. A vigil will be held on campus and a guest speaker will remember those lost and provide context during the post-Roe v. Wade era with new threats to gender-affirming health care.
