On November 20,, people around the world will gather to hold vigils to commemorate those lives lost. Our cis accomplices know that they must be intentional in their solidarity in eradicating genocide against Black and brown transgender people, and it doesn’t stop on Saturday.
Cis accomplices: continue signal boosting the work of transgender advocates; continue supporting businesses owned by trans people of color. Continue to show up at the marches and rallies and vigils, even when it hurts. Continue to spotlight the social issues transgender people are facing on your IG grids and stories. Continue to educate your cis boyfriends, husbands, friends, and the men in your lives on transgender issues, even if that means losing relationships and access.
To my trans siblings: I hope you’re practicing self-care this week and are being loved on in community. We mourn, we struggle, we fight, because liberation is our birthright. And we won’t stop until we have the world we deserve.
