A National Epidemic: Fatal Anti-Transgender Violence in America.
“Black Trans Lives Matter,” said Tori Cooper, HRC director of community engagement for the Transgender Justice Initiative. “In the same week countless people across the globe stand up for racial injustice, in the same week we honor the 49 victims of the Pulse massacre in Orlando, we have lost two more Black transgender women to the same fate most of us worry about every day. Say their names. Dominique “Rem'mie” Fells. Dominique “Rem'mie” Fells. Dominique “Rem'mie” Fells. Riah Milton. Riah Milton. Riah Milton. Continue to say the names of every transgender and gender non-conforming person stolen from this Earth. Don't wait until we are all gone to speak up. This fight belongs to us all.”
