Rest in power, Mama Major! 💜🙏🏽

It was a blessing to live in the same earthly timeline as you. A true freedom fighter, you never stopped reminding trans people—especially Black trans people—of our worth and our power.

Because of Major, our foundation is unshakeable and our liberation inevitable.

September 2024 in Washington, D.C.
I’m standing beside the legend, Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, at the Gender Liberation March under a white tent. Both of us are wearing flowing white outfits and warm smiles, holding hands in a moment of tenderness and strength.

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy passed away today according to the House of GG. She was a veteran of the Stonewall rebellion and a lifelong organizer for the safety and dignity of trans people, sex workers, and the incarcerated. She came from the same generation and milieu as Marsha and Sylvia. She was 78.

For the second time in three years, a family had to reconcile the death of a loved one at the same busy intersection on Union Avenue. And both families are asking: Why did it have to happen twice?

I don't know that banning this is legal in the US, apart from concerns around sexual harassment and quid pro quo schemes.

It is well known in the US that Walmart is not a labor friendly employer & that they have killed off many businesses...
I believe the family behind it has an ugly history, to put it mildly...

Jennyfer, a restaurant worker in FL, reported to police that her manager sexually assaulted her. Within weeks, she was charged with a DUI & deported to Nicaragua. The criminal legal system, in tandem with immigration enforcement, is built to disappear vulnerable people, @alexmar.bsky.social reports.
