The two discussed civil rights protections in the District, the role of the LGBTLU, formerly known as the Gay and Lesbian Liaison Unit, or “GLLU,” how trans people can protect their safety and rights in the District, and gave a few dos and don’ts for those choosing to engage in peaceful demonstrations.

Sunday Nov 20th – TDOR – Transgender Day of Remembrance Interfaith Service
The Transgender Day of Remembrance occurs annually on November 20, and is a day to memorialize those who have been killed over the previous year as a result of transphobia, or the hatred or fear of transgender and gender non-conforming people. This event also serves to bring attention to the continued violence endured by the trans* communities, especially those who exist on the margins. On average, there is one such murder in this country every month. Most of these murders go unsolved.
