About Us Black Lives Matter The echoes of Marsha P. Johnson's defiant stand at Stonewall still reverberate today, though the struggle for black trans rights and dignity stretches long before and beyond. We at Black Trans Alliance inherit both that proud history of resistance and its unfinished business in tearing down systemic oppression. Just as a black trans woman helped ignite the LGBTQ+ movement over 50 years ago, we carry on organising and advocating to dismantle the discrimination and violence that threatens far too many in our community. But we cannot win these battles for justice alone. In that same spirit of solidarity, we stand firm with the global Black Lives Matter movement to confront anti-black racism endemic in our institutions. Our shared liberation is intertwined across lines of gender, sexuality and race in the fight against white supremacy. #BlackLivesMatter Manage Cookie Preferences
