Speakers described being attacked by cops in full riot gear, violent arrests, cars driving into Trans March
Dozens of people gathered on the steps of City Hall for a powerful and emotional rally on Monday afternoon, called by the Trans March Organizing Committee after police violence and failure to protect the community marred this year’s “celebration of joy” at the annual event during Pride Weekend.
As Trans March leaders delivered a list of demands to increase safety and hold officials accountable at a meeting with city officials and representatives of Mayor Daniel Lurie upstairs, chants of liberation and calls for more protection for trans people rang out below. Leaders of the Trans March, Transgender District, and other organizations gave testimony to the fear and panic that broke out at the event.
