Speaker to keynote Transgender Day of Remembrance event at Belmont United Methodist

An unidentified speaker announced that Transgender Day of Remembrance falls on Nov. 20 and said they will serve as a keynote speaker at a remembrance event at Belmont United Methodist Church from 6 to 8 p.m. The speaker urged allies to attend and offered a message of support to the transgender community: "We see you, we hear you, and we stand with you."

The speaker framed the event as a community call to show visible support for transgender neighbors and invited attendees to join from 6 to 8 p.m. The transcript did not record additional event details such as a formal sponsor contact, an entry fee, or an agenda. The transcript contains two slightly different renderings of the church location; the announcement text in the transcript reads both "Ackland" and "Ekland." Because the transcript is inconsistent on the street name, this article omits a street-level spelling for the church to avoid presenting uncertain information.

Next steps: Interested attendees were invited to come to the event on Nov. 20; no registration details were provided in the announcements.
