TDOR vigil
(above) So far in 2020, at least 34 transgender people are known to have been murdered or to have died under suspicious or violent circumstances. According to the National Center for Transgender Equality, at least 23 of the victims were trans women, four were trans men and one was non-binary. And most of the victims have been Black or Latinx trans women. Nu Trans Movement, Prism Health North Texas and DFW Human Rights Campaign have organized a Transgender Day of Remembrance vigil for Friday near the Marsha Johnson and Sylvia Rivera Mural on Cedar Springs to honor those who have been lost and to focus attention on the ongoing epidemic of anti-transgender violence.
Come light a candle and say their names. 6:30-8 p.m., beside the Nelson Tebedo Clinic, 4012 Cedar Springs Road; 214-521-5191.
