2006 South Bay Transgender Day
of Remembrance
- Monday, Nov 20
- 7:00 p.m.
The theme of this year’s South Bay Transgender Day of Remembrance is “Four Years of Progress.”
The evening will focus on the substantial progress made in understanding and protecting transgender people. Speaking at the event will be Jamison Green, the well-known author of “Becoming a Visible Man,” Assemblymember Sally Lieber, sponsor of the Justice for Victim Act that prevents “gay panic” defense, and Imelda Guerrero, Gwen Araujo’s aunt. The evening will conclude with a reading of names for those who lost their lives due to hate crimes this past year.
While this is a solemn event — remembering those killed by
hate crime violence — it is also a day of empowerment
for members of the community to gather and draw support from
one another.
