Please join us next Wednesday (14 November 2012) at 5:00 PM for the Shreveport Transgender Day of Remembrance.
Louisiana Trans Advocates will be honoring the National Transgender Day of Remembrance with a memorial service at the Centenary College Band Shell. After the service, we will walk to El Compadre’s.
Unquestionably, the most solemn day for transgender people in the US is the Transgender Day of Remembrance which is commemorated every November throughout the United States and worldwide.
On this day, we memorialize the many transgender people who have lost their lives to hate-based violence. It has been estimated that one trans person per month on average is killed in the United States in a hate crime murder just for being transgender.
If you have any questions or are interested in being involved in the event don’t hesitate to email shreveport@latransadvocates.org for more information.
Also, if you would like information about the memorials being held in other parts of the state during the week, please email us at info@latransadvocates.org.
The memorial service will honor those who have been killed from 2011 to 2012.
