Rally for Black trans lives draws enormous crowd in Brooklyn

As Black Lives Matter protests continue around the country, throngs in New York City put a lens on the dangers facing the Black transgender community.

​

Protesters packed the courtyard of the Brooklyn Museum and surrounding parkway in New York City borough on Sunday in support of Black trans lives, merging the fight to protect two deeply marginalized groups.​

​

The rally began about 1 p.m. local time in front of the museum, just a short walk East of Brooklyn's Grand Army Plaza as activists made speeches emphasizing the importance of human rights for Black trans Lives. About two hours later, attendees began to march north, led by event organizers and Black transgender women in front.​

​

A number of groups, including the Marsha P. Johnson Institute, The Okra Project, and Black Trans Femmes in the Arts, co-organized Sunday's rally and march.​

​

A spokesperson for the organizers did not have an official estimate for the crowd, but a swarm of attendees covered the plaza in front of the Museum and took over the road on Eastern Parkway, likely in the thousands.​

​

Some of the speakers included transgender activist Raquel Willis, author Ceyenne Doroshow, and the family of Layleen Polanco, according to the event's homepage.​

Nice! I know many have talked about how Black Trans Lives were being left out of the discussion, so it's great to see such a big turnout.

Heard nothing about this in Brooklyn. Incredibly proud and happy for them.

So cool to see, i wish them the best. Everyone should be treated equally. I do worry of people being that close to each other. Hope a lot are using PPE.
