Black Lives Matter protesters disrupt Hillary Clinton: ‘Stand with black trans women’
by Jorge Rivas
August 27, 2015 1:44 p.m.

Black Lives Matters demonstrators shouting “say her name” disrupted a Hillary Clinton campaign stop in Cleveland on Thursday. The two women called on Clinton to “divest from private prisons and invest in the liberation of black transgender women.”

<...>

The women said the disruption was part of a series of actions this week calling attention to the number of black transgender women who have been murdered this year. At least 20 transgender women have been killed this year, 14 of them black women. In nine of those cases, Fusion found last week, charges have been filed.

Again...there was no shove. Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #110

How about passive-aggressive swipes at supporters of other candidates? aikoaiko Aug 2015 #47

I am also not going to make a fool of myself by claiming it was a conspired by one of my hrmjustin Aug 2015 #54

That would make sense in this case, but I bet your glad there isn't aikoaiko Aug 2015 #61

And I will not tell African Americans how the should feel about my candidate. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #62

Of course you won't tell African Americans how they should feel because 80+% agree with you. aikoaiko Aug 2015 #67

You think wrong. I am targeting no one. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #68

I would have had no problem with that! Let them shut every candidate down! leftofcool Aug 2015 #66

I agree, something's off with this whatchamacallit Aug 2015 #63

Sure. mmonk Aug 2015 #44

I doubt this will be posted about over and over, it is a part of campaigning. Thinkingabout Aug 2015 #45

Good, I hope they keep it up until something is finally done BainsBane Aug 2015 #56

Of they did and of course they will ismnotwasm Aug 2015 #57

Clinton's reaction in that video is quite revealing jberryhill Aug 2015 #59

I'm glad you thought so ismnotwasm Aug 2015 #82

Considering she's not IN the video jberryhill Aug 2015 #83

Well yes, I had noticed that but I didn't want to point it out ismnotwasm Aug 2015 #90

Apparently, they disrupted her clean outta there! jberryhill Aug 2015 #95

Quick shot at whatever/whomever she appears to be disrupting. Juicy_Bellows Aug 2015 #89

"I don't see Hillary anywhere in the video" jberryhill Aug 2015 #96
