Representative Lawlor has been a champion for this issue and our equality work in years past and we look forward to welcoming him on this important day!

Transgender Day of Remembrance is an international day we set aside to remember the transgender people we have lost to violence and anti-trans bias. Please join us.

This year we will gather as a community of transgender people and allies to remember those we have lost. We will have a vigil, reading of the names, and inspiring words from members of CT's transgender communities, all followed by a program of remembrance at Hartford MCC.

Please join us in making this a unifying, empowering event!
