On Friday November 20, 2009 many entities from the Trans community in San Francisco collaborated and held an event at the API Wellness Center in San Francisco called the 11th Annual San Francisco Transgender Day of Remembrance. Many people turned out for the event including Alexandra Byerly from El la program, Senator Mark Leno, Theresa Sparks and plus the many many speakers from the community who simply wanted to pay tribute to all the TG men or women who have been killed.

This year alone at least 100 TG people have been murdered in the world and at least a dozen right here in the United States.

This years theme is "appreciating those whose journey has come to an end this past year."

The event culminated with a march through the Tenderloin which was hosted by the group "One Struggle One Fight."
