National Center for Transgender Equality
John,
Our country is hurting, there is no denying it. We have lost yet more
Black friends, neighbors, and loved ones to bias and bigotry who
deserved to see their futures. Our police departments - and our
country - have failed to live up to the promise that
#BlackLivesMatter. And that must change.
At times like this, it is vital that we come together. That's
why we're inviting you to Equality Florida's LGBTQ
#BlackLivesMatter Virtual Town Hall tonight, June 3 at 6:00pm ET with
Black LGBTQ leaders.

Black transgender people are 2.5 times more likely to be stopped by
police for "walking while trans." Black trans people are 6 times more
likely to be attacked by police than White trans people. The murder of
George Floyd is only the most recent example of why police violence is
so dangerous for all Black people, including Black trans people.
Tonight is an opportunity to hear from Black LGBTQ leaders about
what's at stake and what you can do.
Will you join this important conversation? RSVP now.
