Founded by trans activist, chiropractor, Dr. Geena Buono, a vibrant member of the Transgender and City of Asbury Park communities.

It is intended to bring awareness to this violence as well as the struggles, creativity, resiliency and beauty of the transgender community.

Emceed by Dr. Geena, the event will feature" local musicians, speakers, a reading of the this year's transgender victims during a moment of silence, followed by a candlelight vigil walk down Ocean Ave to Club Paradise (The Empress Hotel), concluded with an appropriate hymn.
