In this online workshop we discussed ways to help faith leaders and communities prepare for Trans Day of Remembrance and Resilience (TDORR).
We invite you to check out the video recording of this CLGS Lavender Lunch workshop for some ideas about how to help your faith community honor the lives of those killed this past year due to transphobic violence.
