UBC Gears and Queers - Paint the Cairn
📅 November 14th, 10am-12pm, 2pm-4pm
In recognition of Trans Day of Remembrance on November 20th, Gears and Queers will be painting the Cairn on November 14th. This act is not only to honor the lives lost to anti-trans violence but also to stand firmly against the growing wave of anti-trans rhetoric. Painting the Cairn demonstrates that trans people belong everywhere and don't only deserve safety but also celebration.
🕘 10 am - 12pm: painting the base
🕑 2pm - 4 pm: painting the candle and writing

📅 Thursday, November 20th, 7pm
Food starts 7pm, event starts 7:30

This year and last, SAGAH, the Society for Advocacy for Gender-Affirming Healthcare Sagah and the ‘Vancouver’ Trans March team have partnered to make this important space possible, but we need your support.
Donations will go to our Host Nations welcome, warm food, candles, ASL interpretation, equipment, and other essentials for the vigil. Donations above our goal will be shared equally between our organisations to support future community gatherings and initiatives.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt care—any amount makes a difference for this day.
