Thank you to every one of the beautiful thousands who turned up today. We will not be erased!
This protest shows one thing more than any other; where they need to bus in a couple hundred to their fill out little hate meets, thousands organically show up to support us. where they need to utilise courts to enforce their bigotry, we have a real community at our backs. Where they have billionaires bankrolling their cruelty, we rely on each other’s compassion and strength. for every step they push us in reverse, we don’t falter. we stand firm. we push back. we’re not going anywhere.
Today proved the enormous power of trans people’s collective organising. Together we have all the strength and skills we need to fight the powers that seek to exclude trans women from public life, and to seize what all oppressed people need: food, housing, medicine and a joyful life. Our liberation is workers’ liberation and women’s liberation. And trans people said it loud: Free Palestine!
