Trans Woman Eryka Caldwell Fatally Stabbed in Bushwick, Brooklyn

Caldwell’s boyfriend, 38-year-old Jonathan Fernandez, has been charged with murder.

another Black woman lost to intimate partner violence. another Black woman lost to transfemicide. Black trans women are some of the most visible among us, statistically face the highest rates of violence, and are still at the bedrock of every trans community, holding up half the sky. Black trans women deserve to be loved out loud and uplifted and appreciated while they're still here.

rest in heavenly peace and pride and power Eryka. i know she's being welcomed with open arms and so much love by her late mother. but Eryka should still be here.

if anyone is able, please donate to or share around her family's fundraiser, they are raising money for the funeral, travel to NY to identify and claim Eryka, as well as transportation of her back home to Kentucky.

I don’t think the men I go to school with and work with would understand why the murder of Amber Czech is hitting me as hard as it is. I never knew her but we were the same age and both working in trades, dealing with the bs that comes from being in a male dominated industry.

Her murder made me think about something I hadn’t before. I’ve known since I decided to go into the automotive industry that I would face discrimination and possibly harassment from my male peers but I had never thought about the possibility of being murdered at work by a man twice my age because he simply doesn’t like me. She probably hadn’t thought about that either.

It’s already been a week since she was bludgeoned to death by a disgusting coward of a man and yet almost no one is hearing about it. The first video I saw about it was literally yesterday and it was someone talking about how little attention her case is getting. It’s bullshit. She will never see her 21st birthday nor any milestones she had yet to reach because a man didn’t like her.

RIP Maria Niotis and Isabella Salas. They were recently murdered in a hit-and-run committed by a Right-Wing extremist that was infuriated at their criticism of Charlie Kirk.

South Africa is living through one of the deadliest realities for women. The femicide rate is five times higher than the global average and women are being murdered, raped and assaulted . In just three months 957 women were killed. This is targeted, women are being harmed because they are women. That’s why South African women created the Purple Shutdown on November 21 and why there is a petition with over a million signatures demanding the government declare femicide a national crisis. I’m linking it. And yes women everywhere are changing their profile pictures to purple to make it clear that we see what is happening and we stand with these women. This is about survival, attention and refusing to let the world pretend that women’s deaths are normal. PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION AND RAISE AWARENESS

Sara Millerey was a Colombian trans woman that was known for being a kindhearted and hardworking woman, and who was subjected to a horrible hate crime in Bello, Antioquía. She had her arms and legs broken and was thrown into a river, and recorded. Although she was rescued and taken to the hospital, she succumbed to her injuries.

There have been vigils to honor her memory, and to demand justice. Femicide and by extension transfemicide, is sadly a very prevalent crime in Latinoamérica.
