We Must Act Now in the Face of Transphobia
January 11, 2017We’re only days into 2017 and three trans people have already been murdered.
During the first week of the year, Mesha Caldwell, a Black trans woman, was found shot to death in Mississippi. Three days later, two-spirit woman Jamie Lee Wounded Arrow was murdered in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. And Sean Hake, a transgender man living in Pennsylvania, was killed by police responding to a domestic violence call – the third reported trans person murdered in 2017.
