This transgender liberation rally reminds us that #TransLivesMatter

Dozens of transgender activists and their supporters gathered Tuesday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, for the second annual “Trans Liberation Tuesday” rally. The call-to-action centered on the voices of black transgender women and offered an opportunity for them to share their stories.

Organized by CeCe McDonald and Joshua Allen — who are trans and gender nonconforming, respectively — of the Black Excellence Collective, the event was created to highlight the epidemic of violence against trans women of color. So far in 2017, 15 trans women have been killed, the majority of them women of color.

Some of my fav vines

Be really forgiving and fair towards everyone you encounter 

Be one with your body 

Don’t be dependent on other people for your own happiness 

Stay positive even when life beats you down a little 

Inspire others to feel good about themselves 

Encourage your friends to be the best they can be 

Proudly own who you are and what you’re into 

Approach every situation with confidence 

Best Wishes!
