Trans Awareness Week 2022
November 14 – 20, 2022
FREE virtual and in-person events
Live on facebook & YouTube
Join us as we honor, celebrate, and remember our trans community during Trans Awareness Week through a series of events, activities, workshops, and more. Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) was founded in 1999 by Gwendolyn Ann Smith, a transgender woman, to memorialize the murder of Rita Hester in Allston, Massachusetts. It has slowly evolved from a web-based project into an international day of action. New Haven has a long history of hosting programs during TDOR, which include both memorial and action-oriented events.
Throughout Trans Awareness Week, the Center aims to raise awareness of the resources available to trans folks, facilitate important conversations about the diversity of trans identities and experiences, and uplift the local transgender community.
Full schedule to be announced in early Fall 2022. Stay tuned for more info!
