Come together to honor lives lost to anti-Trans violence.

ALTAR, NOV. 15-19, 10am-4:30pm at Faith Lutheran Church, Room 5.

We begin with a community altar of art, notes, pictures, names, and offerings, open for all to visit and contribute to each day with extended hours on the evening of Thursday, Nov. 18th until 8pm.

GROUP, NOV. 18, 6pm, online at StonewallChico.com/groups: a talking group for Transgender adults who would like to process and discuss together in a safe space with other Trans people.

CANDLELIGHT VIGIL, NOV 20, 6-8pm outside in the Faith Lutheran courtyard.

A service all are welcome to which honors the names and lives of those who have passed this year as a result of violence against Trans people. Featuring the traditional "reading of the names," a song by the Faith Lutheran Bell Choir, and comfort food refreshments.

The candlelight service will also be livestreamed at www.StonewallChico.com and available to watch for several days after the service.

For the safety of our community, please wear a mask to all in-person components of this event.

Finding the altar room: The room is recognizable as being right behind the playground in the courtyard of the church.

It will be clearly marked and can be entered directly from outside. It is wheelchair accessible. You do not need to go through any other rooms/ doors in the church or check in with anyone to visit it. The room will be left open, and will not be staffed or monitored so that folks visiting can do so with privacy and quiet. If another person is visiting while you are, please wear a face mask.


*We use the word 'Trans' in its most inclusive sense: encompassing all whose gender identity varies or is different from their sex-assigned-at-birth.
