“We called off Pride. Now it’s Gay Wrath Month.” Some more beautiful scenes and signs from the #TransResistance Vigil and March in Boston this past Saturday. It is heartening to see so many pouring out across the nation to rallies, protests, and vigils to say that #BlackTransLivesMatter and to lift up the names of #RiahMilton, #DominiqueFells, #LayleenPolanco, #TonyMcDade, #MarshaPJohnson, and all the other black trans lives cut short and given no justice. #transresistancema #transresistanceboston #transresistancemarchboston #translivesmatter #transrights #transrightsarehumanrights #nojusticenopeace #blacklivesmatter #blm #lgbt #lgbtqia #lgbtpride #pridemonth #pride2020 #gaywrathmonth #resistance https://www.instagram.com/p/CBdLX-ngmbn/?igshid=s1f8w9lasgaw

Today, we joined our board member @doroshow, the founder of @glits_inc and over 15,000 people for the #BrooklynLiberation rally, an action to honor #BlackTransLives and to demand justice for #LayleenPolanco, #TonyMcDade and #DominiqueRemmieFells and so many others lost to police violence. . . . . . . . #blacklivesmatter #caribbean #lgbtq #pride #pridemonth #caribbeanequalityproject #brooklyn #nyc (at Brooklyn Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBb4hgKB5vs/?igshid=c3oi5eoae9ng

#StopKillingUs Posted @withrepost • @janetmock Heartbroken and enraged from the harsh reality that Layleen Polanco, who was incarcerated on Rikers Island, was found dead in her cell on Friday. Folks are gathering Monday in NYC and collecting donations to help lay her to rest. Links are in my stories. We need to show up for trans women of color. We need to #CloseRikers. We need to check and challenge any one seeking to police our bodies, genders and identities. Rest in power, Layleen. #closerikersnow #twoc #layleenpolanco #justiceforlayleen #girlslikeus https://www.instagram.com/p/Byftb4tBuQj/?igshid=1hibxyc8ppsw9
