Venue and timings have changed!

A vigil to honour transgender people worldwide who have lost their lives in this past year. Expect lighting candles, name reading, speeches, a collective scream and a chance to decompress at Cloak.

We’re hosting this in collaboration with Trans Resistance Action Network this year. It’ll start at 6.30pm on College Green.

Please bring a picture of someone you’d like to remember, a candle, a picnic blanket, something pink to wear and any flags or placards. You don’t have to bring all of this and prioritise staying warm!
