The First Unitarian Church of Baltimore (Charles and Franklin St., Baltimore) holds a service for the Transgender Day of Remembrance on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.

The day was started in 1998 with the kick off of “Remembering Our Dead” to commemorate the murder of Rita Hester who was killed for being transgender. The day has been extended to memorialize everyone who has been killed out of anti-transgender hatred or prejudice.

The day is to help raise awareness to the prejudices transgender people still face. For more information, visit firstunitarian.net.
