Cheer up! Only one more reminder after this! :)
This coming Friday, Nov. 19 (in addition to being my mom's birthday) is the rally on the Diag at noon in commeration of the 6th Annual Transgender Day of Remembrance. The next day -- Saturday the 20th -- is the official Day of Remembrance.
The purpose of these events is a simple one -- raise awareness of the deadly violence committed against the transgender community out of pure bigotry or fear. I am honored to share the stage with Jay Kaplan, staff attorney for LGBT affairs at the ACLU on Friday and equally honored to be the emcee for Saturday night's activities.
In order for us to achieve that purpose, we need people to show up. Even people that are already aware and are already sympathetic. Please come.
Also, if you are here in the Law School, hit me up on Thursday or Friday if you would like to have a black arm-band to wear to show your support.
