Transgender Day of Remembrance Vigil
2025-11-20 19:00 - 20:30 | Unitarian Universalist Church Brunswick, 1 Middle St, Brunswick, ME, 04011, United States
LOCAL CONGREGATIONS TO HOST TRANSGENDER DAY OF REMEMBRANCE SERVICE
Thursday, November 20 @ 7 pm
By a recent count, at least twenty-five transgender or gender variant lives have been lost in the United States since this time last year. Those are just the murders that have been made known, and in the context of the anti-trans focus of the current administration, we know that underreporting is a fact. Many victims of transphobic violence never have their deaths publicly acknowledged. With the recent bombardment of anti-trans legislation aimed to suppress the trans and gender variant community in this country, the acknowledgement of these tragic deaths is all the more critical. Now, more than ever, it is important to speak their names and honor their memories. To this end, local churches and nonprofit organizations are joining together to host a Transgender Day of Remembrance gathering in Brunswick on Thursday, November 20.
WHAT IS TRANSGENDER DAY OF REMEMBRANCE?
Transgender advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith began Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) in 1999. TDOR began as a vigil to honor the memory of Rita Hester, a transgender woman who was killed in Alliston, Massachusetts in 1998. The vigil also commemorated all the transgender and gender variant lives lost to anti-Trans violence in the time following Rita Hester’s murder. Thus began an important tradition that has become the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance observed throughout the world on November 20th.
TDOR founder Gwendolyn Ann Smith says, “Transgender Day of Remembrance seeks to highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence. I am no stranger to the need to fight for our rights, and the right to simply exist is first and foremost. With so many seeking to erase transgender people — sometimes in the most brutal ways possible — it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice.”
HOW CAN I GET INVOLVEC IN THE TRANSGENDER DAY OF REMEMBRANCE?
Join organizers from the Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick; First Universalist Church of Yarmouth; Beth Israel Congregation of Bath; First Parish Church in Brunswick; the Sexuality, Women, and Gender Center from Bowdoin College and the Brunswick Pride Committee in a service to honor the transgender and gender variant lives lost this year to transphobic violence.
This Transgender Day of Remembrance vigil will be held at 7:00 pm on Thursday, November 20 at the UU Church of Brunswick located at 1 Middle St. in Brunswick.
While this vigil is being held at a church, it is led and supported by both religious leaders and community members. This TDOR vigil is open to all who support the transgender and gender variant community.

This class is all about moving gently and intentionally, blending mindful movement with spacious pauses for breath and rest. Whether you’re new to yoga or a longtime practitioner, you’re welcome just as you are.
At ECC, we believe yoga is so much more than a stretchy workout. It’s a lifelong, spiritual practice rooted in the wisdom of Southeast Asian and African traditions—one that invites us into deeper relationship with ourselves, each other, and the world around us.
We do our best to honor yoga’s roots by weaving in teachings on self-awareness, ethics, and collective care—while keeping our classes slow, grounding, and accessible. ✨
🌱 All donations for this class go directly to our Class Scholarship Fund, which helps folks access other ECC classes and workshops. When the fund is thriving, we extend it to support local mutual aid projects too. Got an idea for where it could go next? We’d love to hear it!
💕 And just to be crystal clear: nobody will ever be turned away for lack of funds. Come as you are, and move with us in community.

The Theater Project Presents: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Adapted by Dorothy Louise
2025-11-16 14:00 - 16:00, 2025-11-15 19:30 - 21:30, 2025-11-14 19:30 - 21:30 | The Theater Project, 14 School St, Brunswick, ME, 04011, United States
Directed by Julia Brown
November 7th-16th, 2025
In this chilling adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, playwright Dorothy Louise breathes new life into the gothic horror classic—revealing a tale far more terrifying than a simple monster story. When Victor Frankenstein abandons the being he creates, the Creature is left to stumble through a world that fears him, twisting his loneliness into rage.
Performed by our Young Company, this dark and emotionally charged production explores what happens when creation turns on its creator—and when the real horror is not the monster, but the mirror it holds up to us all.
Suggested Donation: $25.00 for Adults, $22.00 for Students & Seniors, $18.00 for Kids
Tickets available online are suggested pricing. To reserve tickets at pay-what-you-can pricing, call the box office at (207) 729-8584 or email at boxoffice@theaterproject.com.

Tom Clukey – 8:30-9:30 pm.
Singer-songwriter and Saco resident, Tom Clukey, is originally from the small town of St. Albans. He was introduced to music at an early age and played in the school band in elementary school through college.
Clukey won a karaoke contest at Spare Time Entertainment in Portland. “I never fancied myself a singer,” but the win sparked a confidence and a new interest in singing, and with the prize money he purchased a guitar.
He started performing in local venues, and then a few years ago decided to take making music more seriously and began writing songs. As the winner of the Wildwood Studio Songwriting Contest, he was awarded $500 in studio time, and as the winner of The Studio Portland Singer/Songwriter Contest, he was awarded a live recording session.
His style is rooted in country and folk, with relatable lyrics that reflect working through the struggles and challenges of everyday life. Among his musical influences are Chris Stapleton, Tyler Childers and John Denver.
