Members of the University community rallied outside of the Union to protest the recent increase in violence against transgender individuals.

The Rally Against Gender Violence and Hate was put together by members of Transcendence, a transgender support, visibility, education and civil rights group on campus.

Individuals held up signs that read “My Sister, My Brother, My Friend NO HATE” and pictures of people who had been killed or committed suicide because of the intolerance transgendered people face.
