Join the City of Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services, Gilead, APLA Health, The LGBTQ Center of Long Beach, Bienestar Long Beach for the Annual International Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR), on Monday, November 20th at Bixby Park from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm!

This year’s program features:
• A community resource fair with partner organizations to promote trans-wellness services in Long Beach.
• Keynote Speakers
• Reading of names by members of the community of those lost over the last year.
• A candlelight vigil followed by a moment of silence.

TDoR was created to memorialize those who were killed this year due to anti-transgender hatred, transphobia, or prejudice. This international event is held every November 20th to honor Rita Hester, who was murdered in November of 1998 and was the impetus for the first vigil held in 1999. Rita Hester’s murder, like most anti-transgender murder cases, has yet to be solved.

Come and stand in solidarity and honor the resiliency of our trans community.

Congratulation to our next LGBTQ leader, Tonya Martin. This amazing human has dedicated their life to ensuring equity in the community.

Tonya Martin has made it her mission to share her gifts to spread equality for all. She serves the State of California as a public servant, under the direction of California’s first gay statewide elected official CA Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara. For five years, she served on the board for Long Beach Pride. As recognition of her community service, Tonya was a former Long Beach Pride Grand Marshal, Long Beach Lambda Democratic Club Jean Harris Woman of the Year and NAACP Woman of the Year. She is the co-founder of Long Beach Festival Gay Latino- supporting the Latino LGBTQ+ community and uniTy- a Transgender Awareness and support event.
Recently, Tonya wrote and advocated for the City of Long Beach’s Gender-Inclusive Language Policy. The request, now adopted, confirms the introduction of an ordinance amending the City of Long Beach Municipal Code to require future Municipal Code amendments to be drafted with gender inclusive language that includes the Long Beach Transgender and Non-Binary residents. In addition, the request will adopt a resolution that amending to require that future amendments to Council Policies, regulatory legislation, and ballot proposals for City Charter amendments to be drafted with gender inclusive language. Ratifying that Language matters, language holds power, and the language of our laws is especially important when reflecting the diversity of our great city.
Among her many accolades, her greatest honor is the ability to live openly gay, to be married to her beautiful wife, Angie Martin and a Mom-Dad to their four sons, Nick, Noah, Reily, and Brandon. It was the Martin family that managed and grew the Long Beach Pride parade to the massive attendance that is today.
