Join SALGA-NYC in honoring Transgender Day of Remembrance - 11/20/2015
There have been over 70 documented killings of trans and gender-diverse people in South Asia over the past six years. This year alone in the U.S., there have been approximately 14 documented murders of transgender people.

Join SALGA-NYC in honoring Transgender Day of Remembrance - 11/20/2015
There have been over 70 documented killings of trans and gender-diverse people in South Asia over the past six years. This year alone in the U.S., there have been approximately 14 documented murders of transgender people. These figures do not account for the countless more acts of gender-based violence and killings that occur in our cities and neighborhoods and go unreported.
Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) is a day to memorialize those who have been killed as a result of anti-transgender violence and bring attention to the continued violence endured by the trans and gender non-conforming members of our community.
Please join SALGA-NYC as we attend one of the nation's largest TDoR events hosted by the Gender Identity Project at The LGBT Community Center. This free event will include "inspirational speakers, moments of reflection, free food, educational info, referrals to services, and more." The event is open to transgender and gender non-conforming community members, family, friends, and allies.
Date: Friday, November 20, 2015
Time: 7 - 9pm (Feel free to stop by at any time and for as long as you'd like)
Location: The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Community Center, 208 West 13th St, New York, NY 10011
RSVP here to get news and updates!
