Everett community honors victims of violence during Transgender Day of Rememberance.
An intimate crowd of allies and members of the transgender community gathered Wednesday night at Legion Memorial Park in Everett to acknowledge Transgender Day of Remembrance.
The annual event on Nov. 20 is now 20 years old, and it continues to bring attention to the violence inflicted against transgender and gender non-conforming people.
The Human Rights Campaign reports so far this year, at least 22 transgender or gender non-conforming people have been killed due to anti-trans violence. The majority of those people were black transgender women, according to HRC.
At Wednesday's gathering, Adair Gearhart, the president of PFLAG Everett, read many of the names of those killed this year.
