Transgender Day of Remembrance was set aside to memorialize those
who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. The event
is held on November 20th of each year to honor Rita Hester, whose murder on November
28th, 1998 kicked off the “Remembering Our Dead”
web project and a San Francisco candlelight vigil in 1999. Rita
Hester’s murder — like most anti-transgender murder cases — has yet to
be solved.

Each chapter of Sex Workers Outreach Project celebrates Transgender Day of Remembrance every year. We also help plan TDOR events around the country.

To continue with the series Know Your Rights SWOP Chicago has made a video about what to do if you are arrested, police tactics, and things everyone should know. Presented below by blip.tv, orginally show a www.redlightdistrictchicago.com .
