(WASHINGTON, DC, OCTOBER 8, 2020) “This week, the LGBTQ+ community lost one of our fiercest voices in Monica Roberts, an activist who not only lifted up the stories of trans people and inspired generations of countless transgender and non-binary people but all those who knew her.
She was a mother, sister, aunt, friend, protector, and voice for the voiceless. Her journalism was groundbreaking, her advocacy impactful and her spirit and passion limitless.
There are people – especially trans members of our community – who are alive and thriving today because of her work,” said Rea Carey, Executive Director.
