The Transgender Health and Wellness Center will hold a special “Transgender Day of Remembrance” on Saturday, Nov. 20.

A 5 p.m. vigil will be held in front of Palm Springs City Hall, 3200 E. Tahquitz Canyon Way. Keynote speakers will be Precious Brady-Davis and Joey Soloway.

The observance, held annually on Nov. 20, honors the memories of those whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.

The ceremony will include the display of a “Transgender Day of Remembrance Memorial Sculpture,” created by artist Heath Satow. The sculpture was inspired by the death of Yazmin Sanchez who was burned to death in a Florida alleyway. The scorched burn marks from her remains inspired a life-sized sculpture of a person laying in a somber sleeping position covered in butterflies. Butterflies are the spiritual symbol of transgender people.
