In November 2024, just ahead of Transgender Day of Remembrance, First Christian Church in Portland held a public event on the steps of their building where they both acknowledged nine years of their official Open + Affirming commitment and took a moment to honor the many trans lives lost to violence in 2024. Their pastor, Rev. Cynthia Dobson McBride, graciously shared the handout they disseminated that day – along with some of her notes – with AllianceQ, to share with our network.
