November 20 marks Trans Day of Remembrance, Resilience, and Resistance (TDOR). We hold grief as systems of oppression, kill and objectify our siblings, especially our Black trans women and femmes, and we come together to celebrate trans life. Join the Minnesota Transgender Health Coalition and Rare Productions as we dance in community and celebrate trans life.
