HOW MANY TRANSGENDERS HAVE TO DIE BEFORE YOU GET INVOLVED?


On June 22, 2003 Transgenders and their allies will march as a coalition to bring awareness of the atrocities that are happening to the transgender community fueled by hate. A large banner stating 'HOW MANY TRANSGENDER HAVE TO DIE BEFORE YOU GET INVOLVED' will guide our march.

All marchers are encouraged to wear white as a symbol of peace and unity.
