PROTECT TRANS BLACK PEOPLE.

As we mourn George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and other Black victims of police brutality, those committed to justice should be humbled by the reality that Tony McDade, a 38-year-old Black trans man fatally shot in Florida last week was at least the twelfth Black trans or nonbinary person killed in 2020. It's June. Weeks before McDade died, Nina Pop, a 28-year-old Black trans woman, was murdered in her apartment in Sikeston, Missouri.

If state-sanctioned violence against Black people is an epidemic in America, Black trans people are at the epicenter. Thus, the specific threats and forms of disenfranchisement that Black trans people face, as well as their current needs, belong at the center of protests and organizing efforts. As we go into Pride month in the midst of an uprising for Black liberation, here are ways to demand justice for and support Black trans people.
