HeadlineAug 26, 2015

The Black Lives Matter movement held protests in at least 14 cities Tuesday to draw attention to what organizers are calling the national crisis of violence against transgender women. At least 17 transgender women have been murdered this year. The majority are trans women of color. Tuesday night, crowds gathered for rallies in Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Brooklyn, Atlanta, Nashville and other cities, chanting “Say Her Name” and reciting the names of trans women killed this year.
