It’s something new in Nevada County, but it’s something going on in communities all over the country.

The day of remembrance was started in 1999 in memory of Rita Hester, who was murdered in Massachusetts. The service will include gentle music, prayers, a candlelight vigil, and reading of names of transgender people around the world who have died as the result of violent actions of others in the past year.

The service will be at 5pm at the Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains–246 South Church Street in Grass Valley.
