Ten days ago, @iamwestdakota called me with idea. A Brooklyn-based protest creating space and action for Black trans lives. She referenced a New York protest in 1917 when the NAACP assembled 10,000 all wearing white standing up against anti-Black violence. We called @theelielcruz, @raquel_willis, @peytondix, @brohammed, and @thefreeactorvist at @theokraproject, more orgs... Our team slowly grew to 150+ people: security, scouts, lawyers, liaisons, medics, artists, elders, speakers, surveillance, consultants, comms/social, transportation, A/V, marshals, ASL interpreters, Spanish translators, emotional healers, and food trucks providing free meals to Black trans folks. (If y’all could see my Google Docs....) Today, police scanners reported more than 15,000 assembled outside the Brooklyn Museum, all wearing white. I’ve never been prouder of anything I’ve done in my life. Thank you. 🤍
