Thousands Flood the Streets of Brooklyn for Black Trans Lives Matter Demonstration
More than 15,000 people, all wearing white, came together in front of the Brooklyn Museum in New York City on Sunday to stand up for and celebrate black trans lives.
According to CBS News, the massive gathering was planned by trans activists and groups including The Okra Project and the Marsha P. Johnson Institute, in response to the continued killing of black trans people in recent weeks—even as the entire country has mobilized to stand up for black lives.
Photos and video posted on social media over the weekend showed a stunning turnout for what organizers are calling the “largest trans-based protest in history.”
