Rally Planned After Transgender Woman Brutally Beaten Outside Home
(DNAINFO) Katie Honan | December 1, 2015 — Advocates are planning to host a rally Tuesday night in support of the transgender woman clinging to life after being brutally beaten outside her Jackson Heights home early Sunday.
The rally, hosted by Everything Transgender in NYC, aims to share a message of support and respect within the community.
“Our message to the community where this happened will be ‘Transgender Lives Matter,’ ‘Respect Your Transgender Neighbors’ and ‘We are NOT ‘men dressed in women’s clothing,'” the group wrote in a press release.
The rally will begin at 5:30 p.m. at the 90th Street-Elmhurst stop on the 7 train and will continue to 93rd Street off Roosevelt Avenue, where the 35-year-old victim was attacked by a man shortly before 4 a.m. Sunday, police said.
