Project Pride and the SLC hosted two events this week in honor of Transgender Awareness Week and Transgender Day of Remembrance. If you were unable to attend the first event, a silent honoring of lives lost to anti-Transgender violence held Nov. 18, you can find photos here. If you missed the memorial event held Fri., Nov. 20, you can view the photos here. The installation that was erected in the PUB lobby in honor of #BlackLivesMatter and #TDOR will be on display until the end of Fall quarter. If you were unable to attend either Transgender Day of Remembrance event, please take the time to stop by the lobby and view the installation, which is a moving portrayal of the violence faced by this marginalized community.

Please join Project Pride and the Arts and Entertainment Board on Wed., Nov. 18 in the main lobby of the PUB at 12:30 p.m. to commemorate Transgender Day of Remembrance and acknowledge that Black Trans Women are one of the most targeted groups in the United States.
According to BlackLivesMatter, the average life expectancy for Black Trans Women is 35 years. Please see this article for details of the high number of Black Trans Women killed so far in 2015.
Despite the recent epidemic of violence against Trans people in general, and Black Trans Women in particular, violent targeting of the trans community has been met with silence and erasure.
End the silence. Join us on Wed., Nov. 18 at 12:30 p.m. in the PUB lobby.
