Title

Black Trans Women Seek More Space in the Movement They Helped Start

Subject

Suggests that a change is taking place. Black trans people, and black trans women, in particular, are demanding to share fully in the gains of the L.G.B.T.Q. or racial justice movements.

Description

New York Times article mentions a recent surge in donations to grass-roots organizations that help black trans people as well as a rise in individual fund-raisers.

Notes that 15,000 people attended the Brooklyn Liberation march after the killings of Mr. McDade, Ms. Fells, and Ms. Milton.

Indicates that the Black trans activists are making the radical move of calling for the redistribution of resources within mainstream L.G.B.T.Q. advocacy organizations that have usually been led by white, cisgender people.
