About Us Black Lives Matter Black Trans Alliance, as an LGBTQ+ organisation understand that liberation is not given and must be fought for. We express our indebtedness to our own Marsha P. Johnson a black trans woman who helped to ignite the LGBTQ+ movement in 1969. This is a movement that has continued over the past 50 years, fighting for LGBTQ+ rights. We have stood against discrimination and violence; therefore we know the fight for justice is not easy and cannot be won alone. We unequivocally stand with the global Black Lives Matter Movement and join in the destruction of racism that is embedded in society. #BlackLivesMatter
