ON SATURDAY 20th November 2021 at 5.00pm GMT we are honouring Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR for short).

TDOR is an annual observance on 20th November in memory of the trans people who lost their lives through acts of anti-trans violence in the past year.

At the time of creating our vigil video, the figure for 1st October 2020 and 30th September 2021 was 409. The final figure is 462. Source: tdor.translivesmatter.info/reports

We will remember them on our YouTube channel from 5pm GMT. Here is the link to the YouTube Premiere. Please subscribe for reminders of when this and other new videos are published.

The vigil will be led by our Co-Chairs Alex Clare-Young and Sarah Hobbs, both trans advocates. If you haven't met them yet, you can watch Alex's intro video here and Sarah's intro video here.

If you would like to join a Zoom call from 4.45pm for an hour, to watch the vigil together with vigil leaders, Alex and Sarah, followed by a time to for mutual support for those affected by the issues raised in the vigil, please contact us to request the Zoom link.

During this vigil we will NOT watch a video of the names of those who have died, as some find this distressing. For those who would wish to remember in this way, we have created this slideshow, which you are welcome to watch beforehand, and to share in your communities.

YOU are more than welcome - tell your friends!

This vigil is based on Alex Clare-Young's publication: Stones and bread, mourning and joy: Resources for Trans Day of Remembrance available to buy as a PDF download from Iona Books.
