#JusticeForRekia and ALL Black women and girls.

The average life expectancy for Black trans women is 35 years. An estimated 25.1 percent of Black American women live in poverty – a higher rate than any other ethnic group.

Black women and girls, trans* and cis, are routinely harassed by police and abused by the state. While we’ve witnessed entire cities rise up to resist the murders of Black men, the murders of Black women continue to go largely ignored.

Silencing the pain of our sisters only perpetuates this violence. #BlackSpring is here: it’s time to remember and lift up the most marginalized victims of state brutality.

Join BYP100’s Bay Area Chapter this Thursday for a National Day of Action to demand #JusticeForRekia and ALL Black women and girls. Together, we’ll paint the town Black with their names, faces and stories.

*Black folks meet-up, 6PM @ Alan Blueford Center* (2434 Telegraph Ave)
