Join Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network and PFLAG Stanwood-Camano for a peaceful vigil to remember and honor trans people lost to anti-trans violence and to celebrate the resilience and love of trans families. We will gather together as a community in the patio area next to Stanwood Tattoo Company at 6:00pm for a candlelight vigil.On Trans Day of Resilience from tdor.co:
"Founded with the Audre Lorde Project in 2014, the Trans Day of Resilience art project is an annual love offering to trans people of color everywhere. Led by Forward Together, its current name and spirit emerged from a 2015 call from New Orleans trans justice organization BreakOUT! to celebrate the resilience of our trans family.
November 20 marks Trans Day of Remembrance, an annual memorial for our murdered kin. The day gives us space to grieve the siblings—overwhelmingly Black trans women and femmes—who were pushed out of this world too soon.
Our rebellious mourning recommits us to the living. We refuse to forget or forfeit our power, even in the face of epidemic violence. We remember: we are pure possibility. Our freedom dreams could set the whole world free.
With art as our portal, we imagine and femifest the world we deserve. May this project, for and by trans people of color, help us see ourselves safe and cherished, rested and healed, fully alive. Let’s dream and shape an irresistible future together."
