An "Evening of Remembrance" to raise public awareness about hate crimes against transgendered people will be held at 7 p.m. on Nov. 20 at The Cooperage at Sonoma State University.
The evening will include a short film, a transgender panel discussion, followed by a Walk of Remembrance. The event will be held in honor of Gwen Aruajo, a 17-year-old from Newark, Calif., who was murdered in a transgender hate crime. The evening will also memorialize those who've lost their lives due to transgender hatred or prejudice, says Stacey Wood of the Women's Resource Center.
The event is sponsored by Bi-GLASS-QTS, Residential Life, and the Women's Resource Center. For more information, contact Stacey Wood, Women's Resource Center, (707) 664-2845.
