We Are Not Disposable!

On Friday, March 21st, over 200 people gathered at 24th Street BART Plaza at Mission St. in San Francisco to demand an end to the systemic violence, abuse, and discrimination that transgender communities face on a daily basis. This public action was held a year after a vigil for Ruby Ordenana, a Nicaraguan transgender woman who was murdered on March 16, 2007 in the Mission. A vibrant coalition of local organizations--including CUAV, El/La Program Para TransLatinas, Hermanos de Luna y Sol, MASA, the SF LGBT Center, and the Transgender, Gender Variant, and Intersex Justice Project (TGIJP) have worked together over the last year to create opportunities for collective healing in the wake of this devastating loss.
