7 years ago today Avery Chanel was killed 5 days into pride month. She should still be here, and if it wasn’t for transphobia and antiBlackness she would be.
Remembering her death is a way to activate our commitments to black trans lives and trans futures.
🧵 I'm not forcing anyone to donate, but it'd help a lot. This is Nova Black (itsnotquitevanlife), they're a houseless content creator a musician/artist who ran away from their family home at 17 yoa (now 21). They're currently in really bad condition and it would help if you–
black people are going MISSING.
black people are being MURDERED.
black CHILDREN are being MURDERED.
THIS IS A GENOCIDE.
THEY ARE AFTER MINORITIES.
IF YOU ARENT OUTRAGED, THEN YOU ARE SICK.
