Transgender Day of Remembrance Meeting for Worship (Open Zoom)
Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), observed annually on November 20, was instituted in 1999 to honor those who have lost their lives due to violence against transgender people. The large majority of victims of anti-trans violence are trans women of color.
Friends Meeting at Cambridge is planning to observe TDOR on Monday, November 20, with a Called Memorial Meeting for Worship at 6:00 pm on Open Zoom. We will name the 392 transgender people who lost their lives worldwide due to violence between October 1, 2022 and September 30, 2023. We will speak their names, remember their lives and hold them and their loved ones in the Light. All are invited to join us for this solemn event.
