In honor of November 20th as Trans Day of Remembrance, this service celebrates Queer and Trans resilience, LGBTQ ancestral wisdom, and the liberating power of Love. Through story, song, and blessing, we reclaim the sacredness of Queer and Trans bodies and our intersecting identities of race, gender, and sexuality. All are welcome to show up as your full, authentic selves. With Guest Preacher Rev Kev, Worship Associate Robbie Edge, and Music from Meylnda Rodriguez.

Rev. Kevin Alan Mann (he/him/siyá)
REV KEV was ordained by the First Unitarian Church of Oakland on October 1st, 2023, the first day of both Filipino American and LGBTQ History Months. He serves as a Chaplain at Sequoia Hospice, Faculty Advisor at Starr King School for the Ministry, and Consultant for Partnership with the UU Church of the Philippines. Rev Kev founded the California statewide chapter of DRUUMM (Diverse Revolutionary UU Multicultural Ministries), hosting quarterly retreats for BIPOC UUs. His ministry is rooted in Collective Liberation, where none of us is free until all of us are free.
