Next Saturday, November 20th, at 6 pm, a Trans Day of Remembrance vigil will be held at the Belltower to honor the members of our transgender community whose lives have been stolen from us by violence over the last year. There will be a certain amount of TDOR tshirts/sweatshirts distributed on a first come first serve basis. Please come to pay your respects and seek solace in each other.
