Join TRACTION for a conversation with Candi Brings Plenty and Stephanie Byers, two community leaders who are reshaping the world for trans, non-binary, and Two Spirits everywhere. Moderator Brooke Wylie will be speaking with them about their lives, their work, and their road towards trans liberation. This conversation is a continued presentation of TRACTION’s ongoing EMERGE Series in partnership with Gender Justice League.
The Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) was founded in 1998 by Gwendolyn Ann Smith—a transgender graphic designer, columnist, and activist—to memorialize the murder of Rita Hester in Allston, Massachusetts. What initially began as a web-based project has since burgeoned into an international day of action; in 2014, TDORs were observed in over 200 cities around the world.
