HOW DID WE GET HERE ?
You play a bigger role than you think.
And Now That role is more important than ever.
Prior to the murder of Brazil Johnson there had not been a black trans woman murdered in Milwaukee in ten years While our girls still faced inexcusable violence I know that we can get back to a place in Milwaukee where it is not rapidly occurring. There is also a fentanyl crisis impacting this community.
Donate, support, volunteer or collaborate with the transition fund now!
We can do it MKE!
WE want to provide more prevention, harm reduction and gender affirming care resources for all trans folx and QTPOC in Milwaukee,
The future of the transition fund looks like a memorial garden, support and funds for gender affirming care procedures and surgery's, sexual assault prevention, and leadership development programs we want to address the socialization of trans women, violence, and how to build generational wealth in the QTPOC community.

Cashay Henderson's Murderer Pleads Insanity
In Cashay Henderson and Deidrick Cross's Murders fire was used,
I beleive fire and the motive in Cashay's murder was because she had video camera's, this might be something you assume or would tell someone to installl camera's for safety but I want us to consider in the context of downlow closeted cutture doe's the presence of a camera then pose it s own risks?
Her murderer plead insantity. How was it insanity when you attempted to destroy eveidence and the crime scene.
He is facing 85 years, while Mya Allens killer was given 23 years why such a huge gap in the amount of time their facing, for a white man and a black man?

Do we commend the system for this when she had to take things into her own hands and told the first treponders who did it, is that a real investigation?

- George Floyd
Our work began tto truly take its shape by the passing of Paris Tikka Mahon, shortly after we were in the early day sof the pandemic, and The unkust murder of George Flloyd resounded in Milwaukee in many ways the Shrman Park Uprising was a prewarning event showcasing the racial injustice we feel even to this day. We stand in commitment and alignment with Black Lives Matter, the fight for justice and to be free from captial murder.
- Ahmaud Arbery
Ahmaud Arbery's murder alongside that of Geroge Floyd and Trayvon Martin, I would argue are akin to public lynchings.
George Flloyd's killing happened in what is now called George Floyd Square, the globally public viral footage shook the world, racism, segregation, redlining, and the overpollicing and militarization of our communities is unconsionable in the Midwest and pushing back agaisnt these systems is something we have long been building movements to do.
Ahmaud and Trayvon Resemble the lynching's era in that they were hunted, just for being black and jogging or walking down the street. We will forever remeber them at the core of our abolitionist practice.
