STL LGBTQIA+ Community join our T rans Community as we come together for healing and remembrance of those sib lings we have lost to fatal violence\, not only in 2018 but previous years as well. As we come together in community\, voices of trans individuals wil l be heard in speech and in song. Join us at the Transgender Memorial Garde n\, a place of unity and tranquility to reflect and honor those lost.
After the ceremony there will be a candlelight march through the streets o f The Grove STL to show our visibility\, letting our voices be heard and to show that we are not going to be erased through violence.

As we march thr ough The Grove we ask patrons of businesses\, restaurants and bars to join in our march as we pass by.
The march will end at the PrideCenter whe re we can continue healing and being in community. Refreshments will be ava ilable.
