Tee Douglas ($Srrdouglas) , Victoria Von Blaque ($bbwfemmefatale), E.L. Winston ($WinstonAnhur) & Javannah Davis ($JavannahJasmeen) will be discussing everything from the resistance, the Executive Orders, the recent deaths of Tahiry Broom and Sam Nordquist, the challenges of organizational leadership in the LGBTQ+ community, the impact the campaign of hate has had on their lives and their work and of course, the cost of visibility.

Introducing T.R.A.I.I.

The T.R.A.I.I.(try) is a FREE tool, available to the public that uses data collected from every known case of a Trans/NB/GE/GNC person who was murdered in the U.S. since 2018 and utilizes geo-spatial technology to chart it on maps of the US. The maps can be layered with socio-economic factors, years, addresses, states or gender identity to give you a visual representation of the global crisis of violence against the Trans community. These maps can be used to educate the community, the media, your local politician or your own family. They can be used to help agencies secure funding, the media in respectful and accurate reporting, for law enforcement to identify patterns and for each of us to reference as we travel throughout the country.
