The Transgender Day of Remembrance was set aside to memorialize those who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. This year, the theme for DOR is “Healing for the Community”. In addition to remembering the victims of 2006, we work to heal the survivors. This year’s extended ceremonies sought to heal the wounds of transphobia and oppression, those inflicted by others and those we inflict upon ourselves.

As each name was projected from two large screens, someone read the person's story from the lecturn, laid a white rose, and stood onstage until the stage was full and all the names had been read aloud.
