Two weeks from today is the 10th anniversary of Michael Brown's death.
His family deserves accountability for his killing. We fought for it. They were promised it. And that promise was broken.
His still grieving family deserves this platform to share their story.

I'm gonna say what the preacher this morning obviously thought he couldn't say:
"O'Shae, you are a child of Gd and you should still be here. The religious hate against queer folks that is spewed from podiums like this needs to stop right now and
we will not let another beautiful soul be murdered with the blood on our hands."

Trans Day of Remembrance is not a happy holiday for us. Each year we’ve had to spend thousands of dollars to help pay for burial transport arrangements of multiple Black trans women who were murdered. We do this through our Homegoing Fund, one of our little known about programs.
