DESCRIPTION:On November 20th, San Francisco, and the rest of the world, will observe 
 the annual Transgender Day of  Remembrance (TDoR) to honor those we have 
 lost and build momentum to end the ever-increasing violence against trans 
 and GNC communities.\n\nThursday, November 20, 2025\n5:00 pm Speakers - SF 
 City Hall Steps\n6:00 pm March from City Hall to LGBT Center\n7:00 pm 
 Program SF LGBT Center, 1800 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94102\n\nWhat is 
 TDoR?\n\nThe number of reported cases of trans-phobic based hate crimes has 
 more than doubled since 1999 when the first TDoR was held in San Francisco 
 on a cold and rainy night. TDoR occurs globally on the 20th of November. 
 This day also acts to bring visibility and momentum to a call to action to 
 end the hatred and ignorance that the transgender community faces 
 daily.\n\nHistory\n\nThe Transgender Day of Remembrance was founded in 1999 
 by Gwendolyn Ann Smith, a trans woman who is a graphic designer, columnist, 
 and activist, to memorialize the murder of Rita Hester in Allston, 
 Massachusetts. Since its inception, TDoR has been held annually on the 20th 
 of November, and quickly evolved from a local gathering started by Smith 
 into an international day of action. By 2013, TDoR was observed in over 200 
 cities throughout more than 20 countries.\n\nWe are dedicated to making 
 this event possible for all of our community with ASL interpretation, 
 Spanish translation, in a venue that is wheelchair 
 accessible.\n\nMission\n\nThe San Francisco Transgender Day of Remembrance 
 (SF TDoR) is an annual community-driven event whose mission is to provide a 
 safe and accessible opportunity for trans and gender non-conforming 
 communities, individuals and their allies to memorialize lives lost to 
 transphobia. This global effort promotes visibility of the many murders and 
 raises awareness around the intersectionality of the injustices our 
 community suffers. It is our intention that our ceremony brings awareness 
 and healing to the community, acts as a "Call to Action to End 
 Transphobia", and celebrates each other in our determination to live our 
 authentic lives.\n
