ACLU Supporter, today – on Trans Day of Remembrance – we honor the lives of transgender people who have died in 2020. The lives above were lost to violence this year, including violence at the hands of police.
And while it is important to lift these names up, we also must do more. Showing up for our trans communities needs to happen every day, not just today.
That means always supporting and affirming the trans and non-binary people in our lives, demanding resources, access, and safety for trans people regularly, and working towards liberation year-round with trans-led organizations and trans people in our communities.
We are fighting for a world where trans people and non-binary people belong. Where transgender people – especially Black trans women – do not have to fear violence or death. Where all transgender people can thrive.
We all have the right to live openly and authentically and have a right to self-determination.
If you want to know more – and do more – please read on. <[link removed]>
Thank you,
The ACLU Team
