Center on Halsted's annual event to honor the memory of trans persons who have been murdered in the U.S. during this year. We invite the trans community to come together, to remember those who have passed, and to encourage/support each other as we move forward together.
This year there will be a candle-lighting ceremony, a reading of the names of the victims, and a keynote speech from Channyn Lynne Parker of Broadway Youth Center.
