These victims were young, all were trans women or gender variant in
some way, and all were people of color. These murders send a message of
hate and fear to the larger community. Mainstream society leaves LGBTQQ
and allied people few spaces to fully respond to that message - to mourn
these deaths, to be angry, to experience solidarity.
Join us in condemning this violence and the systems of homophobia,
transphobia and racism that produce it, as we celebrate the strength
and vibrancy of the LGBTQQ community that persists against all odds.
All are welcome.
