On Trans Day of Remembrance, advocates call on politicians to halt anti-trans rhetoric
In the past year, Advocates for Trans Equality found 27 violent deaths of trans people in the United States, as well as 21 suicides.
“This year, these deaths are punctuated by a political movement and powerful politicians who have fanned the flames of hate and are driving our trans siblings even further to the margins of society,” said Kelley Robinson, president of the Human Rights Campaign. “Every anti-equality politician, from Donald Trump and his cabinet, to those in Congress and state legislatures, needs to see these numbers, see these names and faces, and see the cost of the cruelty they have greenlit.”
