Introducing the creators of HELL YOU TALMBOUT #BlackTransLivesMatter REMIX! Thank you all for making our video go viral, we've reached nearly half a million people so far. So it seems that there are many who support the movement but we also need to support the people. The avg annual income of #FolksLikeUs is less than 10k. It's a miracle that we've been able to survive. In the words of Lucille Clifton "Won't you celebrate with me that everyday something has tried to kill me and failed."

I was just reading a post about #AmberMonroe on Autostraddle and found out about this documentary. My heart has been heavy this summer. #SayHerName

As many of you have heard, Ruth Ellis Center tragically lost a member of our family and community this past weekend. Amber Monroe, a gentle spirit who loved to dance, learn and advocate on behalf of her trans sisters of color, was fatally shot and killed in the early morning hour of Saturday August 8, 2015. Amber, at the young age of 20, very much honored her right to live in her truth and she fought for that everyday. Her smile and unmistakable laugh will live on in our hearts. She, like so many of the youth who come to Ruth Ellis Center was filled with love, determination and undeniable strength, even in the face of relentless hate. In support of Amber's family, Ruth Ellis Center will be assuming costs associated with Amber's funeral . To make a donation in support of Amber's funeral visit http://www.ruthelliscenter.org/for-donors/ruths-angels . Please include "Amber Monroe" in the memo line. Should funds raised exceed funeral costs, Ruth Ellis Center will designate the additional funding to support programming specific to trans women of color. As the Ruth Ellis Center community grieves, we want to thank so many of you for the outpouring of support. Ruth Ellis Center is currently planning a vigil in support of Amber and ALL trans* lives lost to violence. More information to come. ‪#‎AmberMonroe‬ ‪#‎LGBTQ‬
