Tete Gulley was a 31-year-old Black trans woman in Portland who was found hanging from a tree, dead. The police department ruled her death a suicide, and did not investigate further. Her family found out she had died through Facebook. Officials won’t look into the case further because there is “insufficient public interest”, despite numerous people of the homeless community witnesses contradicting that ruling. Someone even allegedly has a video. But due to negligent policing and, apparently, lack of public interest, the family hasn’t seen justice, let alone the autopsy.

Jean: what are your expectations of Philip?
