The First Unitarian Church of Baltimore (Charles and Franklin St., Baltimore) holds a service for the Transgender Day of Remembrance on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.

The day was started in 1998 with the kick off of ā€œRemembering Our Deadā€ to commemorate the murder of Rita Hester who was killed for being transgender. The day has been extended to memorialize everyone who has been killed out of anti-transgender hatred or prejudice.
