This years Anti Hate Crime Vigil will be held at 7.30 on Saturday 19th October near the Old Steine fountain.
17-24-30 was originally set up with the purpose of organising and facilitating the April Acts of Remembrance each year in Brixton, Brick Lane and Soho.
The organisation takes it's name from the dates of the three nail bomb attacks that took place on the 17th, 24th and 30th April 1999.
The LGBT Community Safety forum will be holding the event, which will include speakers, music, readings and messages of support.
Spirit Day 17th October
In early October 2010, Canadian teenager Brittany McMillan promulgated the observance of a new commemoration called Spirit Day, the first observance of which took place on October 20, 2010, in which people wear the colour purple to show support for LGBT young people who are victims of bullying.
Promoted by GLAAD, many Hollywood celebrities wore purple on this day to show their support of this cause, and many websites added a prominent purple shade to their design.
The name, Spirit Day comes from the purple stripe of the Rainbow Flag, defined by Gilbert Baker, creator of that flag, as 'representing "spirit"'.
The observance was inaugurated in response to a rash of widely-publicised bullying-related suicides of gay school students in 2010, including that of Tyler Clementi.
