In a time where Republicans have made attacking trans people central to their political platform and many Democrats have agreed to throw them under the bus for political expediency, it is inspiring to see a politician not only proudly fighting to protect trans people but also honoring trans leaders.
UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
