Lord of the Rings is my favorite story, because at its core it’s about how the power of loyalty and friendship and bravery can overcome even the darkest evil, and also how wanting to eat potatoes again badly enough is basically a superpower

In case anyone needed a reminder,

✨ Libraries are for everyone
✨ Visibility and symbols of inclusion matter
✨ Neutrality is not an option in times of injustice

Thank you for having me to speak, while I wish we were gathering in joy rather than in mourning. I am touched and heartened that I see all of you out here with us today. Because that's what we need at this moment. To not be isolated, not be alone, but to be in community with each other. My name is Fae Weichsel, I am a union member and organizer, I was born into a union family. I've been active in my union for over a decade fighting both for queer rights and labor rights. I know the power in collective action, in community coming together for a common good. That is what we need right now, solidarity with our trans brothers. Solidarity with our entire trans community. Solidarity with and from not only the queer community but the entire community. It is a scary time to be a trans person in america. I know it, you know it. We live it, I am speaking to the choir today. We know the harm that comes to our community. We've all had to help fellow trans and queer kin heal, recover and process this harm and often trauma.

Now is the time that requires action. If not us, who? If not now, when? If not here, where? But what are we to do? What are we to do when we are beset on all sides? It's a time to look at our queer and trans history. Our community history is one of struggle and strife but also? Of victory, we did not get better treatment by asking the cops at stonewall nicely. We did not get HIV medications by being patient, we did not get AIDS treatment by being quiet. We did not get PrEP by "being good" we got it by acting up. Silence Equals Death. Its true. Hyper Invisibility is not a shield, and hyper visibility is not a sword. These are things we know, we are a community that comes from all walks of life, so many varied backgrounds, we know the meaning of family. Various reasons and circumstances make our community one deeply familiar with found family. Many of us have extended found family networks. I have brothers, kin and sisters, with whom I share no blood.

"Blood is thicker than water" no. I reject that. The quote is about the blood of the covenant being thicker than water. I am in covenant with all trans people. I cannot and will not let them go alone in this world we find ourselves in. All trans people are family. I want to read the words of Linda Norquiest, Sam's mother, in regards to trying to find her son. "At least Sam could possibly hear my voice and know: 'Mom's here. Mom's looking" We need to be each other's family and look for each other and continue to keep looking out for each other. Make sure your family is safe and ok. Check in on each other. Form stronger bonds between us. Because together? We have a power greater than the sum of its parts. To take a term from our queer history. An army of lovers cannot lose. A lot of us are afraid. I will tell you I'm afraid. But you cannot be courageous without fear. Being courageous involves being afraid, and acting anyway. Not in a dangerous reckless way, but not letting fear rule our lives. If we can conquer the fear within ourselves to transition to show the world who we really are? Then it is also on us, and I mean also my cis kin here as well. It is on all of us, to conquer the fear within ourselves, to show up and be there for our family in this time. For us trans people to stand up for ourselves, and for our cis comrades to stand with us!

We have a long fight ahead of us. Something I like to say and I would like to leave you with is this thought of mine. No one can save everyone But everyone can save someone. Look for who you can save. Thank you for your time.

My speech at the vigil.

“No one can Save Everyone. But everyone can save someone. Look for who you can save”
