It takes place from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Asian and Pacific Islander Wellness Center, 730 Polk Street (at Ellis). Alexandra Byerly from the El/La Transgender Latina HIV Prevention Program will be the keynote speaker."

There will also be one in Oakland that is listed on the site linked in the OP, if that is any help.

We live in times more sensitive than ever to hatred based violence. Over the last decade, more than one person per month has died due to transgender-based hate or prejudice, regardless of any other factors in their lives. This trend shows no sign of abating. Many of these crimes remain unreported and unsolved.

With this in mind we invite you to please stand with us in solidarity Saturday, November 20, 2010 at 6:30 pm on the steps of City Hall.

A vigil march and community celebration will follow at Ark of Refuge, 1025 Howard St. (cross 6th and 7th Sts), 8PM-10PM.

Just a reminder that these services are coming up...

I hope you'll be able to attend one in your area.

The_Lady_Snow · 11-15-2010, 07:59 PM

We'll be attending in Orlando.

Jesse · 11-15-2010, 11:56 PM

I am going to do my best to be at the one in St. Pete.

Leigh · 11-15-2010, 11:59 PM

I plan on being at the one here in Winnipeg

EnderD_503 · 11-16-2010, 07:30 AM

Will be attending here in T.O.

Alpha Dog · 11-19-2010, 06:10 PM

Due to the weather forecasts (RAIN) this Saturday, the SF Transgender DOR Planning committee decided to NOT start the event at City Hall. We will hold the entire event at Ark of Refuge, 1025 Howard Street, starting at 6:30PM, Saturday, November 20th.

Corkey · 11-19-2010, 06:54 PM

There is nothing here, so I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Leigh · 11-19-2010, 07:29 PM

I'm looking forward to going to tomorrow's event

Transgender Americans face high suicide risk

New survey paints a portrait of trans people's lives in the U.S.

(excerpt)

A staggering 41 percent of transgender people in the United States have attempted to commit suicide, according to a new survey. About 19 percent of transgender people report being refused medical care because of their gender-nonconforming status, and a shocking 2 percent have been violently assaulted in a doctor's office.

These statistics are just some of the sobering findings from a survey of more than 7,000 transgender people conducted by the National Center for Transgender Equality and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, released in October 2010.

Thanks, I didn't know it was changed. I hope these events all over are well attended.

Winnipeg's TDOR event begins at 5pm and goes until 7pm ~ I'll report how things go when I'm back home but I'm very much looking forward to it

Galahad · 11-20-2010, 02:14 PM

There is nothing going on near me but I will be thinking of all of you and remembering in my way. I had a few whispers about there being some sort of remembrance at the university pride group nearby but they keep things very quiet no location announced. Not a good area for the glb and especially the t's.

I viewed the Documentary 'Two Spirits'. Last night I loved the presentation and the audience participation afterwards.
