BlackTransLiberation

Join the TGI Justice Project (TGIJP) and Black Lives Matter Bay Area at 6 pm tomorrow (Tuesday, 8/25) at Civic Center Plaza in San Francisco as we come together in response to the #BlackTransLiberationTuesday call to action. We are making a call to collectively mourn and speak out against the extreme violence that our Black trans* and gender non conforming women, girls and femmes face on a daily basis.

17 trans women of color have been killed in 2015. The average life expectancy of a Black trans woman is 35 years. We are in a state of emergency and the time to speak our grief, rage and love to power is now!

#BlackTransLivesMatter

Please also take a few minutes to read this article on just some of the ways we can all help show up for trans* women of color and their survival.
