Transgender Die-In: A Political Display Against Trans Hate Crimes

BGLTSA presents….TRANSCENDENCE: A TRANS ISSUES WEEK 

***Wednesday, March 12th from 11am-2pm outside of the Science Center***

Violence against transgender people is a reality. Join us to help combat it.

The BGLTSA will be hosting a political display to make our campus aware that hatecrimes occur daily against transgender people simply because of their gender identity and expression. We will stage a “die-in” with BGLTSA members lying on the ground to commemorate those in our community whose lives have been taken from them for expressing who they are. Information will be displayed about trans hate crimes and House Bill 1722 — a bill currently being considered by the Massachusetts legislature concerning the inclusion of violence fueled by a person’s gender identity and expression under current “hate crime” laws.

 COMBAT INJUSTICE. BE BOLD. WE DARE YOU.

Please contact cbrooks@fas.harvard.edu or bperkov@fas.harvard.edu if you would like to be part of the display or if you have any questions.
