Vigil To Mark Trans Day Of Remembrance In Doylestown

DOYLESTOWN, PA — A vigil will mark Trans Day of Remembrance and Resilience on Wednesday, Nov. 19, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at 55 East Court Street in Doylestown Borough.

Organized and led by students from the Rainbow Room, the public is invited to join the event on the lawn of the Bucks County Administration Building to honor trans lives lost to violence, and to uplift the resilience, resistance, and beauty of the trans community and others impacted by hate.

"Bring a candle, a friend, and abundant love to share during this impactful evening," said organizers. "This is a public event open to everyone, so please bring family, friends, and loved ones."

In the event of rain, the vigil will take place at the Rainbow Room on East Court Street.
