International Transgender Day of Remembrance
St. Louis Candlelight Vigil: Thursday, Nov. 15th @ 7PM
Washington University in St. Louis, South 40 Clocktower

Come together to mourn the people murdered in the past year due to 
anti-transgender violence. Hear the stories of people who were killed 
and help raise awareness about violence against those with differing 
gender identities and gender expressions. Through the vigil, we express 
love and respect for people in the face of national indifference and 
hatred. Several St. Louis religious leaders will be present to speak, 
but the event is not inherently religious.

Following the meeting at the South 40 clocktower, we will then proceed 
into the Gargoyle located in Mallinkrodt Center where our guests will 
speak. Adhahm Roland, a local transgender musician, will also sing.

Open to all and wheelchair accessible. If you have questions, or need 
more information, email pridewu at gmail.com.

To reach the clocktower, turn onto Shepley Drive from Big Bend. This is 
the entrance to the South 40 on the western side. A parking garage is 
hidden behind the dorms on the left; there is also a smaller parking 
lot on the right. From there, walk east along Shepley Drive until you 
see the small, green clocktower near Ursa's Cafe.

The South 40 Clocktower is also walking distance from the Big Bend Metro stop
