Vigil for Brianna Ghey

Vigil for Brianna Ghey

Thursday 16th February 2023, 19:00 

Wavy Steps, central Hebden Bridge (just by the river opposite the White Swan)

We are holding a vigil for Brianna Grey, a member of our community who was senselessly murdered aged just 16, to enable a moment of solidarity for us all whilst we are grieving. We encourage all LGBTQIA+ people and allies to come and join us, wear something warm, and help us create a safe space where trans, non binary and genderqueer people can feel safe, protected and supported. 

Please join us and light a candle in memory of Brianna and the countless other trans lives that we lose year after year. 

If you want to show your support via a donation, there is a go fund me page for Brianna here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/brianna-ghey
