Justice for Layleen!!!
#WalkingWhileTrans is NOT a crime.
Text WALK to 50409 to urge your elected officials to VOTE to repeal the #WalkingWhileTrans ban.
Layleen Polanco was an Afro-Latinx transgender woman who died a yr ago in solitary confinement at Rikers. The over-policing of our trans community & being unable to pay $500 bail led to her death. We must end this systemic violence: Repeal #WalkingWhileTrans & pass #HALTsolitary!
READ: @TS_Candii + @CarlinaRivera wrote this Op-Ed on #WalkingWhileTrans
“Both the Council’s reso & the Legislature’s bill to repeal the #WalkingWhileTrans Ban have support from a majority of members, yet neither has had even a hearing, let alone a vote.”
