Transgender Vigil of Remembrance and Celebration

Many area Gay Straight Alliances are working on posters to highlight each person that we have lost in 2019. Names will be read, lights will honor and ANYONE is invited to speak in honor of our transgender brothers and sisters. Any donations made this night will be donated to the Chicago House to help our homeless transgender friends. Email thepintaprideproject@gmail.com to speak or get involved!
