100 Disruptions: #ProtectTransWomen
freepress.net
Chris,
Seven transgender women of color were murdered within the first 60 days of 2017.1
The media have largely ignored violence against the trans community, particularly violence against Black trans women. Today we have an opportunity to pick up where news outlets have failed by recognizing the intersections of transphobia, racism and misogyny.
March 15 is a national day of action to celebrate the lives of Black trans women and protect all trans women and femmes. Todays action is to attend or organize an event to #ProtectTransWomen in your community. (http://act.freepress.net/go/16711?t=1&akid=6200.9036884.xk8Pae) We encourage you to step up, educate yourself and join the conversation.
Thanks for all that you do
Lucia, Collette, Candace and the rest of the Free Press team
