NORTHERN VIRGINIA INTERFAITH TRANSGENDER DAY OF REMEMBRANCE SERVICE
This will be the 16th year that TGEA has sponsored the Northern Virginia Interfaith Transgender Day of Remembrance Service.
We do this in conjunction with the Metropolitan Church of Northern Virginia (MCC NoVA), and various host communities.
What is The Transgender Day of Remembrance?
This is the day we remember our dead, those who were murdered over the past year while living their life as their authentic self due to anti-trans violence or hate.
The event will be hosted at Unity of Fairfax, 2854 Hunter Mill Rd. Oakton, VA
There have been 34 murders thus far this year – The Names.
Please contact Rev. Emma if you have any questions.
