Throughout the nation, supporters of the transgender community will unite today to speak out against intolerance and violence.

Included among the services, vigils and protests scheduled for National Transgender Day of Remembrance is a San Jose event and one in Los Angeles that will remember Gwen Araujo, a transgender 17-year-old Newark student murdered five years ago.
