Transgender Day of Remembrance Vigil

Transgender individuals, especially trans women of color, continue to face disproportionately high rates of violence, discrimination, and marginalization. To bring awareness to this ongoing crisis and to honor those who have lost their lives, we invite the Brooklyn College community to join us for Trans Day of Remembrance. This event is not only a solemn commemoration of the lives cut short by transphobic violence but also a powerful reminder of the work that remains to be done in advocating for trans rights and justice.

The vigil will begin with a walk across campus, where participants will carry a large trans flag in solidarity. As we walk, we will read aloud the names of those who have been killed, ensuring their stories are not forgotten. The walk will conclude at the LGBTQ+ Resource Center, where refreshments will be provided, and the community can gather to reflect, mourn, and commit to creating a safer, more inclusive future for all.
