Trans Justice Rally set for Nov. 15 at U.S. Capitol
The National LGBTQ Task Force Action Fund, the ACLU, and other supportive organizations are calling on supporters to join them for a Trans Justice Rally at the U.S.
Capitol at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 15. Organizers said the rally would take place on the Capitol grounds on the U.S. House side of the Capitol building at a location known as “The People’s Podium” across the street from the Cannon and Longworth House office buildings off Independence Ave., SE. “Our trans siblings deserve freedom, dignity, and access to care,” a statement released by organizers of the rally says. “Over 90,000 trans people are losing the health care many trans people need,” the statement says. “Others sneak bans on essential care into the federal budgets that our tax dollars pay for!” it says. “We must come together to make sure that every member of Congress hears our voices,” the statement continues. “We stand united to protect healthcare for trans people everywhere.” Among those expected to speak at the rally were Allen Morris, Policy Director of the National LGBTQ Task Force Action Fund; Pony Knowles, Director of National Campaigns for the ACLU; and Diego Sanchez, National Director of Advocacy, Policy & Partnerships at PFLAG National.
