"Two weeks ago, I organized a vigil at Chapman University in Orange, California to honor the lives of trans murdered this year in the United States. I was motivated by the death of KC Haggard, a 66-year-old trans woman from Fresno and a 1977 graduate from Chapman. The space prioritized the voices of trans women of color, and included prominent activists, speakers and musicians such as Jennicet Guttierez, Ashley Love of Transforming Media, Jennifer Thompson of CSU Fullerton and Alexandra Grey."
