Our counterprotest demonstration earlier today against a hate rally calling for healthcare to be forcibly withheld from trans kids was attended by almost 100 participants.
The hate rally ended without meaningful impact. We built the connections necessary to safeguard trans rights for years to come.
Read our statement on our counterprotest today where we talk about where organized hate derives its power from, how we defeat it, and our role as an organization.
