This Year on Track to Be Deadliest for Transgender Women—But Activists Are Fighting Back

The national day of action comes amid an epidemic of violence targeting transgender women of color. Responding to the call “give us our roses while we’re still here,” communities across the United States on Wednesday are staging vigils, rallies and speak-outs as part of a national day of action to "celebrate the lives of black trans women and protect all trans women and femmes.”

1/10 transgender people have been evicted because of their transgender status and trans people are four times as likely to live in deep poverty.
