TGI Network of Rhode Island will be holding a special service on November 20th at7 p.m. commemorating Transgender Day of Remembrance. It is an event for remembering and honoring all trans, non-binary, and gender diverse folks who've lost their lives during the past year due to anti-transgender violence.

Because of concerns over the ongoing pandemic, as well as a desire to make the event accessible to anyone who might have difficulties securing transportation, the event will be held again this year over Zoom.

If you are interested in attending, please email: tdor.rhodeisland@gmail.com.
