Friend,

Throughout Gun Violence Awareness month, Community Justice has worked to center and tell the stories of survivors, while also lifting up the work that our partners are leading to end police violence, prioritize public health approaches over policing, and invest in community-based solutions.

And as we continue to observe both Gun Violence Awareness Month and Pride Month, we must stand together and firmly call for the end of all forms of violence against our Black trans sisters, brothers, and non-binary family. We must affirm boldly that Black Trans Lives Matter.

This week, we invite you to stand in solidarity with the Black trans community, while also taking action, organizing, and healing from the constant threats against our loved ones.
