Trans Day of Remembrance 2024 at Reading Students Union
Reading Pride's MyUmbrella LGBT+ project will once again host the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance Vigil for Reading and Thames Valley, offering both in-person and online.
This vigil holds deep significance as we honour the lives of those lost to anti-trans violence, especially the disproportionate impact on trans people of colour, particularly black trans women. Since its first vigil in 2015, this event has united the trans community and allies in remembrance, solidarity, and the ongoing fight for equality and rights locally, in the UK, and globally.
Order of Service
Doors open at 7pm, to be seated by 8pm for vigil start.
Doors will close at 8pm sharp.
