Please join us for a night of recognizing those
lives lost in our community. We will honor there memory by also acknowledging the progress made in and for the Trans* community. LED candles will be giving out to be lit in honor of fallen TGNCNB community members, both in Philadelphia and in all of our cities everywhere. Vice Tv filmed last year and the awareness their documentary garnered helped shed a necessary light on the accurate and real-life portrayals of the lives of trans folk (especially transfolk of color in America). Our hope is that this documentary will be a learning tool for schools, employers, and communities everywhere to bring true and authentic narratives to society and dispel hurtful narratives that keep us misunderstood, marginalized, targets for abuse and ultimately voiceless. Please help raise awareness in your city if you are not in Philadelphia , Pa and remember to build allyship that will enhance and platform the lives of the trans experience until the community experiences full cultural liberation.
