We will also gather for a fire ceremony where we encourage you to write down your fears, pain, or anything you are carrying and offer it to the fire as an act of release. Commemoration begins at 6:00pm. Light snacks and warm drinks will be provided.” Brooklyn Brooklyn Area Pride’s Trans Day of Remembrance Friday, November 20, 2026, 6:00 p.m.

Can preserving hope justify saying more than you believe?
