Event outline:
• Statement of why we are holding the vigil.
• Presentation of TDOR list of names (names will be displayed on screen).
• Call to include any friends and loved ones (by raised hand or entering in chat for us to read out for them).
• Period of silence and joint mourning.
• Ending speech and thanks for attending.
Feel free to mark the period of silence however you wish e.g. by lighting a candle or simply taking a moment of reflection.
The list of names has been taken from https://tdor.translivesmatter.info/reports?from=2019-10-01&to=2020-09-30&country=all&category=all&view=details&filter= and we fully appreciate not all crimes against trans and gender-diverse people are reported or recorded accurately. As a content warning, the website does contain details of anti-transgender violence.
If you require any adjustments to participate in the vigil, please let us know by emailing Dan (Staff LGBTQ+ network, professional services co-chair) at d.lernihan@gold.ac.uk
