transgender day of remembrance this week

[nabil]

hi loves,

the transgender day of remembrance is this week, november 20th, to remember the trans folks who have been murdered this year.  this year i'm thinking of Duanna Johnson, who just died suspiciously after being severely beaten by memphis police-- the beating was captured on tape and under investigation at the time of her death.  you can read more here:  http://transgriot.blogspot.com/2008/11/duanna-johnson-found-dead.html

what are folks in the bay area doing for the day?  want to join up?  it's not a happy occasion, but it's important to honor it.

xoxo

I Was Wondering About That Too...

I would LOVE to do something like say...going to an event together or something.

It's a Thursday this year so it may be weird, but yeah...I'd love to do something.

I wish I lived closer, I'd be glad to join ya'll for this. It's important for our sisters like Duanna Johnson to be remembered not just this day, but everyday as we fight against the opression that regretfully still exsists in thie country.
